Swim Camp 2010 - Henry
Henry's swim camp is all about fetching. We have lots of toys that float, but his favorite is an orange lobster. I think he likes it because it is easy to grab out the water and easy for him to hold in his mouth.
Henry's routine is to stand on the first step and wait for someone to throw the lobster. He then jumps from the step and is off to fetch the lobster. Once he wrangles up the toy, he swims back to the step and jumps out of the pool with his catch to take a little break. Once he is rested, we throw the lobster back into the pool and Henry happily fetches it again.
Out of the 3, Henry gets in the most swimming because he actually swims up and back the whole length of the pool. Unless someone throws the lobster short
Henry has also mastered pushing off the edge of the pool to gain momentum when turning around to swim back to the step. You can get a good look at his turns in the video

OK, first I must say how impressed I am at Henry’s skills…an Olympic contender I do think. But…no video is up :-( Or is that just me that can’t see it?! In any event, can’t wait to see you and your new move Henry. I adore that first picture of you…it shows that you are a true water puggie with that big smile!
Baxter and I are at work (way too early for our liking) and anxiously awaiting word when we can go fetch Cole!!!
