My little angel was doing so well and really made me so proud seeing that I didn't quite have the confidence that she would venture off with the swimming teacher away from the safety of the shallow step. She happily held Teacher Saskia's neck and kicked her little legs with a proud smile stretched across her adorable little face... That was until it was time to put her face under the water (or be lightly dunked under the water I should say)! After that, it was all downhill - tears, loud cries and getting out of the pool, quite adamant that she didn't want to get back in!
Now my little angel, whose confidence in the water was growing, is a little more cautious and reluctant to venture too far into the pool again. She wasn't put under water today though so hopefully we can get back to where we were. But for now she is reluctantly going into the deeper water with her arms firmly around Saskia's neck, kicking just slightly and is very much more secure in the safety of the baby step... Week one is done and we have one week left. Fingers crossed we can get her used to getting her little face wet and a little more confident in the water on a whole.
