the big boys learn to swim in the middle of winter

it's january and i am motivated to teach the boys to swim NOW!
the city next door is having a triathlon at the end of february and they have a 7-8yr old category! i was already planning on tri-ing, but now the boys can too - IF they can swim!
so the boys and i are heading over to the local military base (where the race will be and where the pool is) to learn to swim and be swimming well for the race which is only 4 weeks away!
the boys have taken swim lessons, but never had any motivation to really swim well until now. they have seen me do a sprint-triathlon before and i told them then that i hoped one day we could do them together. although we'll compete in different races, they are eager to tri! :)
