Duckling dive

Sera, a little drenched after doing a 'duckling dive'.


I've been meaning to write about Sera's Waterbabes class on Wednesday, which I know you people are sitting on the edge of your seats, just waiting to find out. Ha ha. Try to feign some enthusiasm ok!

It started early as usual, but the weather was extremely hot. The summer heat is fast approaching and the day time temperature hits the high 30s. And that morning, the temperature felt like 39-degrees. All I know is I came out of the pool with a slight headache, most likely from the heat ... and maybe from swinging and swooshing Sera a little too eagerly.

So Sera did a duckling dive that morning, not that she had much of a choice. 'grin'. Oma was nervously watching as I counted 1-2-3 and pushed her head (about 30cm from the surface) into the water, followed by the rest of her body and then out of the water, like a wet little duckling indeed! She didn't cry, was a little disoriented and maybe had one two many gulps of the chlorine water. All in all, she was a real trooper!

Sera with her swim teacher ... experiencing separation anxiety? Actually I'm more disturbed by that floating plastic baby!

Sera looks so at ease in the water. Papa and mama must be real proud of her. :)

I was trying to figure out what that funny looking thing is on the poolside in the first picture... the scary plastic doll. Dress her up. ;p
