2016 Olympics or bust!

This spring we went swimming and Jordan got enough courage to try and dive. Some teenagers began diving and doing tricks off the board. When Jordan saw this his jaw dropped, they made it look easy and fun.

Joining the dive team this summer, Jordan had no idea how to dive; this weekend he has his final competition. Jordan competes in the "pre-competition" (beginning dive) and has placed first in every meet (he doesn't have many competitors).

In the video he is practicing his back dive, the 1st dive is not too good, the 2nd is the best and the 3rd is good. (Obviously there are at least 5 min. lapses between the dives)
It has been fun to watch him develop another talent, which we are hoping he continues to enjoy. His biggest weakness is jumping (no surprise to us) he just can't get the height. His strengths - no fear, hands down! He is not afraid to hit that water, so he is willing to try any dive.

Now when we go swimming Jordan goes to the board and stays there the whole time.

So my camera is officially broken so I used my cell phone - not the best picture.
