King of the Belly Flops

Our little man looks like a flying squirrel jumping off the side of the pool while belting out the words "Belly flop". As he surfaces, I inquiringly ask "Doesn't that hurt?" Too which he replies with a big grin "Nope". Looks like it should , but to an energetic 5 year old it's the greatest trick. After 100's of belly flops and a few hundred trips down the water slide he approaches us with vigor and pride. Here he announces his intentions of jumping off the diving board with his big brother. The kid literally just started really swimming in deep water last week and now we are already attempting the diving board. While he was cautious and a bit scared he decided to take the plunge. Nothing stopping him now. After that we couldn't peel him away from the diving board. Now all three boys are great swimmers. This just gives hubby new ammunition for reasons to put in a pool next summer!
