Summer 2006 is here at last!



Me, Mom and a sis with a cute bum.

My bump is really 5 months' worth and not from overeating :)

My Belle and My Main Man at Deer Lake, row-boating.

My Man at summer swim-camp. What a star!

6 months onwards you should take them. they have an automatic reflex to hold their breath under water when young. the older they grow, they tend to lose this reflex and fear going underwater. we sent gareth from about 10 months by which time he was not comfortable going underwater. kyra's cool about it. her first swim classes were a couple of months ago but she had always been fine going under - even in the bath. they more they're exposed to water/splashing, the better they are when they're in an actual class environment - less fear, more enthusiasm. gareth can do a baby swim. ie. he will go underwater and do the baby-type of kicks (like frog)with arms extended and swim for a couple of seconds towards me/instructor - 5 seconds max. he's now at the age where they're teaching the kids to kick straight, no longer baby-kicks. they baby-kick till about 3-4 years old before they are taught these skills. but they must be confident to jump into the water and swim independently of their parents before the instructor will take them for these classes.
