Hope and Daddy are taking a 2-week "swim class" through Portland Parks & Recreation. It meets every day for half an hour at a great outdoor swimming pool in a nearby neighborhood. The two of them head off in the mornings by bicycle, with helmet-clad Hope tucked safely into the Chariot which you may remember from cyclocross photos last Fall and Winter.
Hope is having a great time: "Swimming! Fun!" Oh, and so is her dad. :)
