Swimming Lesson

One of the pluses of being off-work for 3 days was the chance to see how the 'other half' live.   Which seems to be mainly 'by the pool' and sometimes 'on the tennis court'.

This is the Oasis pool on a weekday afternoon.  Gender balance 95% female, 5% male (excluding staff).

I also got the watch Hannah's swimming lesson.   Here she is practicing diving.

Hannah was working very well with her instructor, and following his direction carefully.  Here he is telling her to close her mouth and blow out through her nose when she puts her head under water.

She is now swimming confidently without floatation aids.

Hannah swimming under water.  Another milestone.  I was so proud of her.
