I don’t know what it is about a hotel swimming pool, but it seems that most children get overwhelmingly excited at the mere sight of one. We’re currently on vacation during the long Memorial Day weekend, and our car is loaded down with all of the essentials needed to make our trip down to the gulf a great one! Before we stepped foot on the beach, we made a pit stop at the place we’re staying at to drop a few things off. All it took was one look at the facility’s swimming pool and our daughter quickly pulled her SwimWays Paw Patrol Swim Trainer out of the pile we unloaded and had us strap her in it so she could dive right in!

She giggled, squealed with joy, clapped her hands and could not contain her excitement any longer. She hopped out of my arms and into the water without a fear in the world. It was quite a sight to see!Making a Splash on International Learn to Swim Day!…
