@judimahoney Thanks, Judi! We do have a pool…and maybe this week it will get warm enough for him to swim. That will help a lot, as he does love swimming! 🌻

@2me rs years.
Be very careful getting him in the pool; my husband was always a very strong swimmer.
A couple of summers ago, my daughter and grandson were here swimming, and my husband jumped in to join them. He couldn't keep himself up. Using a float, my daughter was able to help him to the stairs; it took two of us to get him out. If she hadn't been here, I don't know if I could have gotten him out by myself.
I'm not sure if he forgot how to swim or was too weak, too.
