Graham starts Water Polo

We started Graham with water polo about 2 weeks ago.  It was one of the water sports made available at the local YMCA, which we decided to join a few weeks ago. There was an introductory family rate for September so I figured - why not!

Graham hasn't really figured out how to tread water yet, so I guess that was my biggest concern!  His coach was trying to give him a few hints during his trial class:

And what is Charlie doing during this time? Just fooling around in the pool.  He has signed up for Ball Hockey instead (also at the YMCA):

Graham does a few drill with the ball in the water.  He wears a floating device strapped around his waist to help him float.  You can almost see that little bit of that blue foam on his back:

It is a "Go" after his trial class!  Graham is going to give Water Polo a shot.  Momma bought him a pair of new speedy Speedo :-)

Hopefully he will stick with it for a while.  There is a monthly fee but I feel it will be really good for him in the long run, especially if he plans on being in the ocean more for body boarding.  Only time will tell!
