Baby's First Swim!

At two months and twelve days, David Michael Bowman got in his first laps at the pool. They weren't quite 50 meter "Olympic" distance. But for a two-month-old, his backstroke was pretty strong on those three foot circles he was swimming. He knows he needs to work on his flip-turns, but we'll address that technique issue later. Right now his mom and I are just proud of his effort.

He only began crying after we took him out of the pool... the day after Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal... coincidence? I think not.

David Michael (Phelps?) Bowman's first swim.
