He has started off with swimming and amazed us all by getting in the pool after about 8 years of no swimming and did a kilometer in just over 30 minutes - with no kicking!! It is in his blood! Anyway he has been enjoying it very much:
After joining up he discovered that for a very small fee the children can use the swimming pool as long as he is there. Abigail has been with him a couple of times and had a great time swimming lengths with him.
Niave's nose was a little out of joint at this and so she now has a card too. We all went yesterday and I watched the girls in the small pool while Grant did his thing in the big pool.
Well, you couldn't have found 2 happier children anywhere!
Niave did really well and I think she will be "swimming" in no time. Her "formal" lessons have given her a good grounding and I think given the time and space to do her own thing she will get there quickly, she is so confident in the water - no fear!
You've heard of butterfly? Well this is called spider, it is a new technique - quite complicated, you move mostly backwards!!Abigail is also happiest in water so they had a grand old time, we were there quite late so for most of the time they had the pool to themselves.
I can see I am going to be spending many an hour sitting beside the pool watching a small girl swim.
