Survival Swimming - Day 18 & Update

SWIMMING UPDATE: I didn't get a video of Friday's swim because I was in the pool with Thomas.  We swam together, and he would swim back and forth between Ms. Penny and myself.  After Friday's swim Ms. Penny decided to take him from 5 days a week down to a maintenance schedule of 2 days a week since his swimming is going really well but his float is regressing.  As you can see if the video his is constantly tipping his head back, which makes him get water in his eyes and mouth, then he kicks harder and it makes it worse causing him to get scared and flail about.  Ms. Penny thinks that he's teething and we are just going to give in a rest for a few weeks and start back up again if it doesn't get better with some rest.  So, keep your fingers crossed that this little break is all he needs and he goes back to where he was before, floating like a champ.

Here is day 18, the 4th day of the 4th week:
