Swim Lessons




Rex has been in swim school since January at Le Petite Baleen, a popular school here in San Francisco. This summer they opened a new pool in a renovated army hanger close to Fort Point. Since Brandi is pregnant (have I failed to mention that?!) she recruited me to be the mommy fish in the pool with him. Apparently pregnant women don't do swimsuits.
The classes are a blast. Rex has always been happy in the water, so it's been mostly easy to deal with him in the pool. He loves to hop in the water from the step or from on his bottom on the deck. And he's getting quite good at holding his breath underwater and kicking a few feet to the wall. He's pretty much a natural!
Dad is still working on singing the fish school songs without sounding like a complete idiot, but he's trying hard.
