Just Dive!

Jamie has experienced the pain of far too many belly-flops to enjoy practicing his racing dives.  When his coach says he must dive, he would only dive from the deck, and lately that's been working out pretty well.

After practice tonight he saw his buddy working a little overtime on his dives off the block and how enthusiastically us parents were cheering him on.  That's when Jamie stood up and announced he was going to go do it!  Scared that he was one bad experience away from never trying a proper racing start again, I braced myself for whatever.

Tonight, he did it!  

As soon as his head popped out and he saw the cheers from all the parents-in-the-know, he was hooked and said, "this is the most fun EVER!"

Yes, it is little man!
