Swimming Cook Strait: an adventurous journal.

Water play

We tried to combine babysitting and a training session last Saturday. Our plan was for my partner and our three year old friend to paddle in the learner’s pool while I did a short training session. Our plan didn’t suit the three year old. Instead we all spent thirty minutes together in the learners pool – for the first twenty minutes I was in a headlock.
The best thing about the morning was that after twenty minutes we were rewarded with a huge smile as she launched off on her own within the safety of the floatation ring and zipped beneath the water curtain. For a little tyke that dearily wanted to swim, but didn’t want to get her hair wet, that moment was magic.
