Is it my turn yet?





Finally the time has arrived for swimming lessons to start - for some unknown reason the Blackwater pool closes from May to October each year. They say these are the winter months, we probably had a month where it might have been a bit too cold to swim but six months? Clearly we missed winter along the way:)
The swimming cap is mandatory much to Sophie's delight, Nick picked it up for her a couple of days before her lessons so she has been "practicing" wearing her hat - Never seen a swimming cap worn so creatively!
Sophie has been so excited and counting down until it was her turn - her lessons are at 6.00pm Wednesdays, so it was a long wait and a big day as she has Jazz on the same day. Needless to say she slept like a babe after her lesson.
Her teach is Miss Sally and the feedback after the first lesson was "very confident and will progress well". There are 4 in the group and whilst one person is with Miss Sally the other 3 run amuck (a little) and Sophie was caught out a couple of times by not having her "listening" ears on (must have been hiding under her cap)! And you think this surprised us why? But it's Miss Sally's job to sort this out.
