Our condo has a pool that I've been wanting to try her out in, but coincidentally, we had a family weekend get-away at Bayview Beach Resort, Penang... So, we decided to make it happen here, today :)
Lttle Keira loves bath time, so we had a good feeling she would feel right at home in a pool. And she did!!!
We dressed her in the sexy, yellow 'Snow White' swimsuit (which daddy bought from the U.S. during a recent work trip), put some head gear and lots and lots of baby sunscreen... and voila, she was ready to hit the baby pool.
She kicked and
spun like a pro in her baby float as soon as she was in the water. At 5
months+, she shows no fear... A natural in the water! I guess she takes
after mommy in that area. Daddy does not know how to swim. *snap*
We even took a video as 'memorabilia' of her first swim experience... Watch this unedited version (also uploaded on YouTube here):
Oh yes, she had two swim sessions today, one in the morning, and the other in the afternoon. After all, she has two baby floats which mommy and Grandma (my MIL) bought separately. We needed to test and see which works better. The orange one, which mommy bought from Ogival, seems to be a much more secure first baby float as it was more stable and supportive. Then again, the decision could just be due to my own bias *wink* :)
Whatever the case, innocent little Keira does not care much tor the 'safety aspect' of it. She's just happy to be in the water so that she is free to roam about on her own two feet, regardless of the color of the float.
