Swimmer

Jacob LOVES to swim.  I don’t know why.  He swims Monday thru Friday, lap after lap, and I just can’t even imagine that being enjoyable.  He LOVEs it though!

Tonight he had a swim meet and Nathan went with me to cheer him on.  In his backstroke he stays under the water for a very long time.  I usually don’t take pictures of him under the water, but tonight I couldn’t resist.  You can see the three boys in the lanes above him are already out of the water and going…

  Then out pops the hand…. (I would be gasping by now)

(Here I would be in actual panic drowning mode), but he calmly emerges…

A second later he is distancing himself from the others…

 

Like really distancing himself…

Here he is finishing that race.  I wish you could see how completely relaxed and easy he makes the race seem….

  

My favorite event of his is the 100 IM.  I feel like all I can do is float on my back, so it is such a treat to see MY son swimming all of the strokes so effortlessly.

You rocked that meet Jacob!
