Girls swim time Sunday afternoon.


Floaties are in high demand.


Fun time for the girls.


No bikinis allowed here and no one owns bathers so we just wear our clothes.



We love the pool!


Now it's the boys turn.


Equally as noisy as the girls.


I was happy to jump in and help give a few swim lessons.
