It’s not very often the most decorated Olympian of all time is in your baby’s swim class â€” but when he is, you pay attention.

Michael Phelps, his wife Nicole and 1-year-old son Boomer came to New York City this summer to participate in a swim class put on by the Phelps Foundation and Huggies Little Swimmers â€” and somehow, my 1-year-old daughter and I were able to attend. (Phelps is a paid spokesperson for Huggies.) Taught by Phelps’ childhood swim coach Cathy Bennett, the class focused on how to teach young children to safely enjoy the water.
