Splish Spash with GrUVyWear

I have a confession to make – I can’t swim.

I took swim lessons and learned like everyone else when I was in grade school, but then I pretty much forgot. So, if you tossed me in a body of water I’m pretty sure I would sink. Part of it is mental. I don’t like having water in my eyes and I get a wee bit nervous if I think about not being able to touch the bottom. 

All this to say – I really REALLY don’t want to pass on my non-swimming-ness to my children. Hence, Jem and I are off to explore the pool tomorrow with a few friends! 

We decided not enroll in lessons since our littles are all between one and two years old and all the class times offered conflicted with nap time. You don’t mess with toddler nap time. No siree. So, us mamas are embarking on our own, aiming to encourage water fun and safety. We’ll kick around, blow some bubbles, and practice back floating. Then, we’ll call it good, dry off, and grab coffee or frozen yogurt together :)

We hope to make it a weekly or at least bi-weekly activity this summer. Hopefully the weather will warm up so we can enjoy some outdoor water play soon too!

For those of you enjoying (or enduring) the summer heat I’m excited to share about GrUVyWear. I’ve been researching the harm of sun exposure and the options for protection and am so excited about clothing that can play a role in keeping my family safe when we’re out in the sun. GrUVyWear specializes in fashionable, fun, UV protective swim wear that offers a UPF of 50+, blocking over 98% of the sun’s harmful rays. Sounds like a winner to me … and Jemma agrees!
