Summer Fun

Summer is a swimming season! For most people.

I always want to be a good swimmer.

I was born in Taiwan, a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and I thought every body lived near ocean.

I wrote about my dream to swim in California beach when I was eighteen.

I took swimming classes in college and practiced with my swimmer roommate. After she taught me many times, she told me that I do not belong in the water.

Many swimming classes and many years pass by, I still can not swim.

I lived in California for twelve years and I still can not swim.

Now, I am living in this beautiful island in Hawaii, I still can not swim.

Well, I live in all "near water" places and I still can not swim.

I am still trying and I know I will be able to swim soon. This "soon" is unknown.

So, I put my dream on my kids. It took three summer for meiying to be a swimmer. Now, I am working on Alexander and Victor.

Yes, Victor is in swimming class and he is doing great! Victor can put his head in the water and get up, then give me a smile. Victor can not sit up or crawl yet! I think what I learned is: start swimming lesson early!

Maybe after all kids can swim well, they will teach me and swim with me.

We are at Alexander and Victor's swimming class every M/W/Friday. We are at Meiying's swimming practice every Tu/Th. Well, I am busy to take kids to swimming pools every day!

It is summer fun! We love it!
