Quetzalli and Ximena swimming.

Last Tuesday May 3, 2011, Quetzalli started swimming and holding on her breathe under water. It was a great accomplishment, I teached her how to do it. First I told her to hold on her breath and then put her face underwater. She did it. At first they were quick submersions. But now, almost two weeks later she can hold on her breath even longer.

Yesterday, May 13, Ximena, the youngest of my daughters, began learning how to hold on her breath underwater. This time, it was her mommy who teached her how to do it. Of course Ximena is still 1 year old and can do only minimal submersions. Her mommy also taught her how to lay in the water by herself. Only the floaties were sustaining her at the pool.
