Emily taking the plunge
Emily, our 5 year old, has been taking swimming lessons since she was 2. Not sure if she is going to be in the Olympics, but she’s a very good swimmer for her age. And she really loves the water.
Last month she wanted to jump from the high diving board at Boston College, one of the places she takes lesson.
I thought “why not, what’s the worst that can happen, she gets rescued by a life guard and a life time of fear?”
So she jumped, with her teachers watching, and loved it. Since then, I’ve taken better video but all I have for now is this choppy image taken from my cell phone.
It might not seem that far, but for a 5 year old, and even me, the high board is pretty high.
