Swimming...

06.05.08

Being in or near the water is very important to John + I. I had been on the swim team in high school + had swam in rivers + lakes, but had never really been exposed to open water swimming...that is, until I met John. Our first date, we went kayaking in the ocean (or at least attempted to) during winter time. About 2 years ago, I competed in my first swim competition, the Ja Lolla Rough Water Swim. I practiced every morning in our local lap pool for a month, trying to perfect my swim technique. Around that time, during my birthday, John's present to me was a 2-day class to be a certified scuba diver.

Over the last few years, I've really grown to love swimming + being the ocean.

Because swimming is so essential to us, we signed Sophia up for her first swim lesson:) She's such a natural. Here are a few images of our little cutie.









I think John's going to teach her how to surf next year ... we'll see ; )
