Miss Lucy hasn't spent as much time in the water as James had by this age (she's usually still asleep when James goes off to swimming lessons on a Saturday morning!) but it was around 2 years of age we noticed James really taking to water and loving it.
Our first day in the pool this trip she was very hesitant and hip-hugging, only being happy to let her tight hold loosen on one big body to cling to the next as many capable and willing 'grown-ups' splashed and played water games with her.
Day 2 however, she looked at the big brother and thought... "Anything he can do, I can do too!!!" and she did (with a bit of help from the hand-me-down bubble!)
Off those little legs went!
We are often met with responses of "No sank (no thanks)" when help is offered. And she's tough to get out of the pool now too!!!!
She's so confident and capable after another 2 days of swimming that we're about to start to cut back the layers in the bubble!!! Amazing what a swim a day can do for a child's confidence in the water!!!!
