\nEver since she was born, Sabine was NOT a fan of getting water on her face. Absolutely positively NOT an option. Jenn Bontempi Concepcion<\/span><\/a><\/span> unfortunately endured soo many weeks of swim classes where Sabine was just not HAVING it. Hell, bath time was a chore at times with her not wanting her face wet.<\/p>\n

So, we go to Sarasota for a vacation. I dont get there until several days after Jenn spends the time with my best friend Al Fudger<\/span><\/a><\/span>. When I get there, Al is like “Hey.. Sabine.. show dad what you can do.” and sure as heck, she dunks her head -straight- under water. Pinching her nose. That was at least progress..<\/p>\n

From there, Jenn said “We need to go to Swim classes -now-. Shes ready” Wouldnt you know about 3 sessions of it and shes taking to it well. Still she hates diving way underwater.<\/p>\n

So.. our friends Jay<\/span><\/a><\/span>, Susan<\/span><\/a><\/span>, and Mia<\/span><\/a><\/span> come by. Susan laughs at the amount of dive toys I want to buy and says “When we were kids.. this is how we learned.” She proceeds to throw a quarter and some pennies to the bottom of the pool and says “Sabine.. dive down and get those..”<\/p>\n

So whos -determined- to learn how to get to the bottom? Yeah. Im ever grateful to Al for starting it.. and for Jay and Susan for keeping it going. Considering the fact that I myself am still on the learning to swim journey.. its so amazingly appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ever since she was born, Sabine was NOT a fan of getting water on her face.
