When my kids were that age, the parents had to be in the pool with them for lessons - but then you only have two arms, so I'm not sure how that would work.

It's made for some classic family stories. Once, when my triplets were little, maybe two, we were at swimming lessons and Ryan fell in. The teacher was on the other side of the pool with her back turned so I did the only logical thing. Jumped in the pool fully clothed (in the middle of winter) to save my child. Of course, I could have probably reached in and pulled him out, but I didn't stop to think. This is only ONE of the stories my kids like to tell. Sigh. Well I've gotten them through to ages seventeen and nineteen, so I think I've done pretty good. This is one of those books I'll be cringing as I read, but I'll also be completely glued to. Thanks for sharing it with us Patricia and Alicia!M.J.
