Having fun at the Pool

There is one thing that all 4 younger cousins (Mikayla, Leighton, Hannah and Rachel) have in common - the love of the water. Both Debbie and Janet grew up in the pool - teaching lessons and lifeguarding. Debbie, John and Eddie started a company to teach others First Aid and CPR. Of course, my dad was the Canadian Butterfly Champion in the early 50s. He nearly made it to the 1956 Melbourne Summer Olympics. Mikayla thought that was so cool. I shared with her that when I saw competitively when I was a teenager my specialty stroke was the 200m butterfly as well as distance freestyle (400m, 800m and 1500m distances).
