Off the diving board

Junior has always loved jumping into the pool. Since he was around 2 and a half has been happy to launch him-self of the 1m board at our local swimming pool he his dad is waiting in the pool below.

I always find this amazing given he still hates getting his face wet when we wash his hair and he really doesn't like floating on his back during swimming lessons. What a strange complex little creature he is!

Little Swimmer

Each morning this week Junior has been attending a school holiday swimming program at a local pool and this morning was his last class. Despite it being the middle of winter and a bit chilly (it is an indoor pool but still not that warm) he is a real water baby and really loves it.
The classes were in a deep water pool but with one instructor to two children he was happy and confident and proudly showed Dad and I his certificate for completing the beginners class.

Now Junior moves on to level one for term swimming in preparation for our family holiday in the sunny north of WA at the end of August. A warm two weeks in the middle of winter sounds live heaven right now and we are all looking forward to it.
