This is our third time doing this at the Mountain View Aquatic Center. Using my diving bell and the PVC structure(both built from Home Depot parts), the goal was to have the kids feel(or simulate) the type of training that NASA astronauts do when preparing for working in space. Obviously the NASA folks would be wearing SCUBA gear, but regardless, the boys enjoyed constructing this underwater.

  • wow, good way to get them to work as a team. Cool idea!

  • The task required discipline, cooperation, and resourcefulness in an adverse environment. That's as astronaut-like as a task can be, and the boys excelled at it. Well done!

    Very good for them

  • (cont).... you felt like you had the shit kicked out of you every single night for 7-years is amazing. You could easily have handed them a Gameboy every evening and said, 'Go play this so I can relax & get some sanity.' I KNOW... I'm a father of triplet boys too (8-years old). Ironically I DO have a video of my kids on here playing a video game. You've given me further inspiration to get my butt in gear and further hone their analytical minds. Your boys are a step ahead but a year younger.

  • Etherpimp: Ignore the 'weird stuff' and 'pet monkeys' comments on here. These people obviously do not have kids and do not understand the rigors of raising disciplined boys who can concentrate on a task in today's video game and cell phone dominated world. Perhaps they also missed the fact that these are triplets. They have no idea the incredible task you went through for the last seven years, and to be able to raise boys this disciplined when (cont)....

  • pretty good, boys usually fight with each other so it must have been hard to make the 3 of them cooperate so well, well done

  • yh true like u sed if they calmed down they coukld of finished it quicker i do this stuff at my swimming center its good fun u shud try it

  • pretty good. They seem a little hasty and quick. Treading water seemed like it took a lot of effort. Maybe If they slowed down and stayed a little more calm they could have a longer breath hold and finish the project faster.

  • lol i guess so, i mean i get why they'd do weird stuff but i just don't get it. oh well. as long as the kids are having fun (never mind the whip waiting for them above water that we can't see)

  • Human is just overgrown ape, and children are just pets.

  • who decided these kids were pet monkeys and made them do tricks?
