Mum and dad had a pool built

This is perfect. We don't have to worry about maintenance, we didn't have to pay for it, we don't have to heat. So far....all we do is use it, and use it, and use it. Given half a chance Andrew and Colin would spend all their time there.

Colin is getting very comfortable in the water, however we are all looking forward to the day when, um, we won't need to worry about, er, plastic pants for him. If you get my drift.

Andrew has shown incredible improvement in the past 2 months. He recently received his orange Red Cross badge, and plans to move on to the next level as soon as he can. He is very comfortable swimming, even in the deep end, but like most kids, his favourite activity is doing cannonballs...preferably right beside dad for maximum splash effect. I caught him in mid flight in this picture.
