Sophie has swimming lessons on Saturday late afternoon, but she always missed it due to rain. Today, it didn't rain, so we hurried down to the pool. I was sick so I just watched them. Unfortunately, Uncle Shawn didn't intend to have lesson today due to Qing Ming. Thus, CK swam with the kids instead.
After 10 minutes in the baby pool, Sophie got restless and asked CK to take her into the Jacuzzi pool. I protested because I worried that he couldn't managed both kids in there but to no avail. I had all sorts of sadistic scenarios playing in my mind and I was even prepared to jump in if need arose. Then I watched with amazement how Sophie managed just fine in the 1 m pool. I know she could touch the floor with about 20 cm of her head above water, so it means she has to jump to breathe. She used her floats and toggled between swimming and floating. Occasionally she took some risks and I could see her struggle to regain her composure. But she always go back to the side of the pool when she had doubts.
Alfee was just having all the fun in the water. He enjoys water play very much and he always appreciates his pool time. Like any other boys, he likes CK throwing him about in the water. I think Soon, I will also get Uncle Shawn to really start on his swimming lessons. Then both of them can swim together.
