Splash!

A couple of weeks ago when we went swimming, it was at a pool with a diving board. Sam demonstrated for me that he could swim the length of the pool, and he was off! That first time he probably went off the diving board 25 times. He did cannonballs, front flips, running starts, and a little number his brother showed him called "the can-opener". Today I had a working camera, and so I caught this jump on tape.

I remember being 5 and fearless - I wonder why that changes? These days, you couldn't pay me to go off a diving board.
