3 New Videos

Just thought I'd share 3 new videos of Izabella tearing it up. What a difference a few months makes.

First the loop the loop:

Then the multiple grab:

And just stopping by to say hi:

She is now 3 (turned in July)...and she understands snorkel clearing and will also dive with the snorkel out. She just plain has fun in the water. Thought I'd share the progress with those of you that saw the first batch. I'm looking for a warm winter wetsuit for her, so if anyone has one, please let me know.

Thanks,

Al

I am so jealous, my daughter is 2 1/2 years old. I guess she'll be back to swim school by summer. she also loves the water but haven't gotten it to a point where Izabella is. Keep up the good work. I guess your grow a dive buddy program already started.

Re: 3 New Videos

Hey Sask...good to meet you at the SD Freedivers meeting a few months back. This is the little girl that was playing with yours. I have taken her in the water with a polespear and even managed a nice Corbina with her next to me. She held the fish after I put it on the bag. She chases fish when we go out and completely understands that they are food and that we shoot them and eat them. She eats seafood like crazy, but has a define weak spot for lobsters.

Hey Flipdiver...she went to swim lessons too and sadly it did little. Nothing helped more than dad going in the pool with her every day for 10 minutes or so. Besides she thinks wearing a mask and "tube" is perfectly normal, so I just found ones that fit her.

Yeah..once she gets her captains license...then we can just sit back and have some brewski while she drives us around...haha...

yeah...she's three..and learned to swim in april at which time she was 2 years and 8 months...which is pretty early...

If I left my mast and snorkel laying around she would pick it up and put in on her face and try to breathe out of the snorkel...so...she thinks that's normal...

Isn't it???

Re: 3 New Videos

Thanks Tara!!! Hopefully you'll get to meet her at one of the meetings!!! If there is a good slideshow, sometimes I bring her. She has a good time and everyone is very welcoming. I can't even begin to describe how much of a fish she is. She eats lobster like it's going out of style, she plays with them when I bring them home and love all kinds of fish I have given her. She also loves seashells and sea stars. She will play by herself in the pool (with supervision) and will dive and grab stuff and collect it into an area all by herself. She also likes to do her own little aquatic ballet while swimming. I have shoredove in La Jolla with her and she will stay on the surface alone and calmly while I dive, when I surface she comes over. She's already a good little dive partner!!!
