A Swim Star In The Making!

Yesterday Josie had a swimming lesson, and came away with a Doggie Paddle Certificate for swimming 25 metres by herself without a back bubble!

I was just SO proud! That means she was treading water on her own, and 25 metres!

We have been going to the pool a few times over the Xmas break, and she has been using both a back bubble, and borrowing Michelle's 2nd swimming vest. For the first time I have been able to leave her to swim, and be able to not hover over her ever second. She is a great swimmer and with the back bubble or vest, has been staying afloat. When I have let her in without either the bubble or vest, she has shown me that she can tread water for a few seconds, but generally she struggles and starts to go under.

This is so great, and well on our way to being able to swim properly!
