  Thank you. It was also pretty much the only thing I had that suited the challenge. Or at least, the only thing I could remember, which may not be exactly the same.

The kids really love the water. Good thing to learn to swim while they are so young. Great photos Marilyn.

  Sometimes, the real photography trick is having the camera at the right moment 🙂 This was one of those times.

  Thank you 🙂 I had the camera for the right moment. That was the day my granddaughter learned to swim. It was great being there.

      It was great. She had been afraid to try, but I asked her friend (the one whose pool it was) to show her how and it took less than five minutes. All it really took was a girl her own age to say “Try this,” and she could swim. Like a little fish 🙂

        That is a lovely story. It’s no small thing learning to overcome self-doubt!

These photos make me want to be a kid again. 🙂 Just thinking about fun, and not the serious stuff we matured people have to deal with 😀 Good selection for the photo challenge and cool shots 🙂

  Yes, I agree. The days when you could hardly wait to get into the pool, not worried about your hair, or the chlorine, or anything. Just the pool, the water, the day. Almost the definition of what childhood is supposed to be … but rarely is.
