Swimming Lessons

I was a lifeguard as a teenager, and was actually teaching swim lessons at a summer camp when a beautiful young counselor (and my future wife-to-be) walked in with a group of kids. So when it came time for me to teach my own young daughter how to swim, it was a rite of passage filled with meaning, love, happiness, and beauty. We've been going in the water with her since she was only three months old, and by now (age 2) she looks forward to her weekly swim lesson more than almost anything else.

 

In another new project, I'm planning to document her progress learning to swim over the course of the next few years. We'll see where it leads...
