Although it was a recordly hot day here in sunny Melbourne, and half the state was on fire, we had a lovely swimming lesson.
We went to a heated indorr physiotherapy pool at a hospital, walked down the ramp intothe pool with a baby each, and commenced to swish them around.
The teacher, Katie, was lovely. Very capable, calm, and kind. She borrowed each of the babies in the class to demonstrate the next thing. Near the end, she took each baby and calmly dunked it under the water. only one baby cried after this treatment. The rest, Ivy and Hazel included, simply spluttered a little and then continued being fairly happy. Katie asked us not to do this ourselves: she said that you have to be very calm and practised to do it, and we'll come to it in a couple of weeks.
Judy came along, and took photos from poolside. At one point Ivy craned her neck to watch Judy. Very cute. Next week my mum, Ann, will come. Perhaps she can video proceedings.
