Swimming Lessons!

Kirrily has been going to swimming lessons now for about 5 weeks a the pool at Cotton Tree. Since the first day she has improved a lot.

The first day she didn't want to get into the pool but Davina (her teacher) had 'the duck' which luckily for me, meant Kirrily would get into the pool after-all.

Since then she has been jumping in the water, running along the mat, spider wall and paddling back to the edge and even doesn't mind being plunged under the water. Today she was also a wizz at floating which is definately a good thing to know if she ever needs to save herself.

Today she had and extra lesson to make up for when she was sick. This nasty little girl, Roma (who names their kid after a tomato anyway) bashed Kirrily in the head. Kirrily said "naughty" back to her but Roma's mum just laughed it off and claims her child doesn't like other children and she just does this. grrrr... Nasty Roma. Lucky for us, we aren't normally in this group. We go back to our nice group tomorrow with our nice teacher, Davina. Davina was hit by a car on her bike and hasn't been there for 2 weeks. She is OK apart from a few broke bones, a broken bike and terrible scratches. Imagine what the chlorine does to those scratches if they weren't healed. eeeek.

So here are a few happy snaps that 'Nan' took. I have cropped my face out of some as the facial expressions where shocking when i was getting splashed by the water.







Wouldn't you know it, one of the ladies in the group, who's name escapes me as i have pregnant brain, is from Newcastle. Lived in Adamstown Heights. Small world. She now lives in Twin Waters. Her little girl, Amelie (which is pronounced more like Amity) is rather cute and doesn't hit anyone. We do have a Caitlin and she's a bit rough too but she thinks she owns the pool as she's been there since she was 6 months and is basically a fish.
