My First Swim

Today Mummy and I walked to David Lloyd where Mummy took me to the Ducklings swimming class (for babies and toddlers). First up I had a nice big drink, and then we went swimming ...

Mummy popped on my swim nappy and my hot pink bathers (courtesy of Nanna and Grandpa Perry). I was the funkiest baby in the pool (ok, and one of the only babies, but who is counting!). We only went in the baby pool, because it is warmer than the big pool - think we'll have to save that up for when I have some more fat on me! I did some floating/kicking on my back and front. Mummy was of course holding me. We swayed about in the water and Mummy had some toys that she could squirt water with. It got a bit rocky when some of the toddlers joined us in the pool, but by then we had been in a while, so Mummy and I got out.

After the swim I had another first - my first shower! I liked the water spraying on me and gave Mummy lots of smiles. Even though Mummy wrapped me up, once we went into the changerooms it got very cold. I cried a bit until Mummy got me nice and warm and gave me some more to drink!

We then walked home again - and got back just before it started to rain! Phew, I didn't need to get wet again!

Daddy is looking forward to going swimming with me next week sometime now as well!
