Today I started at Baby Dolphins! These are the next level of swimming lessons after the Baby Splash ones which I finished a couple of months ago. Today Mum came in the pool with me and Dad left work to come and watch and photograph me!
I went really well and kicked like a mad thing! Someone had told Mum that a way to protect my skin from the drying effects of the chlorine is to rub sorbolene all over me about 2 hours before swimming and then again afterwards. I think it is recommended to do it 2 hours before to give it a chance to soak in, however Mum still found me very slippery. Luckily Mum kept her hands on me at all times but next time she might dress me in my sunsuit which might be easier to keep a hold of!
