Not long after we moved into our new place, we noticed that there were a very large number of happy parents and children congregating around the front door of our across-the-street neighbors. After some sleuthing, Mummy discovered that the woman who lives there gives swimming lessons to babies. Sound crazy? Nope -- you get them accustomed to water now, they won't fear it later, and more importantly, will be able to stay calm in potential water-related emergencies.
Now that the weather is getting warmer and Jasper is more than seven months old, we inquired about enrolling. The price was very reasonable, so Friday was our first class of six -- Daddy has gotten permission to take a long lunch every Friday so he can come too. We think we just may have a water baby here ...
It's so hard to envisage warm swimming temperatures when it's still blustery here in the East! It's fun to experience your pleasure vicariously.
