two hundred three


It's not summer without our favorite pool! We spent the entire day camped out by the diving pool.  
Crazy kids all day! Gainers, flips, crazy dives.  HELP!
After M successfully landed a double gainer off the first platform, his little brother decided to top him and attempt a double gainer off the second platform.


Well, it didn't go very well and he landed on his ribcage with a hard smack.  Seconds later, as he was trying to swim to the side, he passed out and started sinking.  I started screaming at the lifeguards, who were not looking, and ran over to the side.  Soon four lifeguards were in the pool with him and the others were clearing out the pool.  Because he passed out and they didn't see the accident they forced him on a stretcher in the pool, which he resisted because when he gained consciousness he was wondering what these crazy people were doing to him.  They finally got him out of the pool and we had to wait for the paramedics to arrive to release him.  I knew he was going to be fine as soon as he came to.  The EMTs confirmed that he had the wind knocked out of him and that he passed out but would be fine.  Sorry to all the other swimmers who had to wait 25 minute for this fun ordeal.  We counted our blessings today!!!
