infant swimming

so, i've been taking mo to the pool about twice a week since we moved up to ATL.  we have a community pool that is a very short walk from our house.  he absolutely loves water.  i've been trying to teach him to swim, but it is admittedly going more slowly than i would prefer.  partly because i don't like to go everyday, as some recommend.  partly because moses still seems to drink a ton of water instead of holding his breath.  partly because i don't really know how to teach swimming to anybody, much less a baby.  ha. it's been fun anyway.  and just so you know i'm not crazy for this endeavor, i was inspired by this amazing video:

the most helpful website i've found so far for teaching infant swimming is: http://www.uswim.com.  they have videos (with lovely aussie accents), lesson sheets, and even certificates you can print.  enjoy!
