Yesterday I went to watch our 2 year old granddaughter 'swim' at the local pool with her floaties on, aka inflatted armbands.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-9950716514060183202016-10-16T18:31:31.526-04:002016-10-16T18:31:31.526-04:00We didn't have swimming pools at either the Jr...We didn't have swimming pools at either the Jr. High or High School I attended so no swimming lessons in tank suits, thank heaven! In my senior year in high school, however, I took Modern Dance class instead of PE and we wore short-sleeved, scoop-necked, black leotards & we thought we looked pretty sexy. :) By the way, the river in your first B&W photo (with you in the bathing cap) looks great. Was it a river or a lake?La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-17050782361408229872016-10-16T11:41:47.118-04:002016-10-16T11:41:47.118-04:00I hear ya about those swimming classes in a tank s...I hear ya about those swimming classes in a tank suit!
