End of Pool Season

It's the end of pool season for us. Public school starts tomorrow and the neighborhood pool will be closed. Wander has been taking them to the pool every evening that the weather has been clear.

The girls have made an amazing transformation over the summer. They started the summer afraid to do much more than sit on the steps during swim lessons. They close the season swimming on their own. Glitter refuses to even wear her flotation vest anymore. Sparkle swims all over the pool with assorted other pool rats that she's made friends with. Glitter swims back and forth between the steps and Wander, often pushing him away if he tries to help when she doesn't want it. Both girls will fearlessly jump into the deep end of the pool and swim to the edge by themselves. Their technique leaves something to be desired, but they have fun anyway.
