Back to the Pool!

It's been a long time since Mather's formal swimming classes ended, and we finally signed her up for a new set. She's been in a few pools and lakes since then, but those have only been occasional opportunities for her to get wet. Now we're back for another run of classes at the Janet Pomeroy Center. Magoo was excited all week as we talked up our trip to the pool, and aside from the mandatory pre-pool shower, she enjoyed everything.

At first, she clutched to the toys on offer, but as the class went on, she got more excited about learning to kick, holding on to the side by herself, and hanging from the ladder that crosses the pool. It just took a little while for her to work up her courage. Once we were home, she couldn't stop talking about it all (even the shower!), and was excited to hear that we'll be going back next week.

Extra special thanks to Nanna for driving us there and taking the photo!
