Diving class

A few weeks ago we signed Jacob up for diving. The first day he saw the tower I think the thought of jumping off it terrified him.

It will still take work till he is comfortable. 

He is doing great with his diving.

Diving is at 8am so its a early activity.

So we do hair why we watch and we cheerlead.

and the girls have to stare at this and never dip a toe in. As it’s closed at 8am-9am.

Everywhere we go we know where all the bathrooms are and we test all their sinks.

It’s been a great activity and I really think its pushing Jacob.  Having it at 8am has worked out well too. It’s done before we ever need to be anywhere or do anything and it gets us up and going for the day.

Jacob is so brave. I don't think I would jump off of that. What a fun pool.

You always get the best pictures! Good job Jacob! I am impressed since you couldn't get ME to even dive off the side of the pool. 8 am would be a great time too!

Looks like you've got a diver/swimmer in the making. It's a great sport!

These pictures are amazing!!! It looks like a cool pool where he dives at too bad the girls cannot go in:( Their hair always looks so good I don't know how you have the patience! You are a terrific MOM!

fabulous! AND it probably kept you close to a school sleep schedule. we on the other hand stay up until midnight and get up at 10:00 it's going to be an ugly adjustment in the next few weeks!

Holly said...

Yeah for Jake! No way would I jump off that high up.

Good for him! I was a diver in high school and I can certainly say that it pushes you. So fun!

I would not jump off of that thing!! But, I'm a big chicken, so don't listen to me. lol! My kids love to test out sinks, too. Makes. me. nuts.

Sara said...

8am?? Is that water cold or what? I don't think I jumped off a platform until freshman year at IHS. And I only dared go feet first. :) Diving is so fun. Jacob will be awesome!
