Swimming Miss Bella can swim she love the pool ONLY when we are out there and a certain toy goes in. she dives in then on other hand Jack does know how to swim he would rather play in HIS baby pool. or the water sprinklers. :) Cheryl |
We took Bama swimming for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Our plan was to hold on to her and see how she liked it and if she could stay up. She walked onto the deck and saw the kids in the pool, ran and jumped right in!! (I don't think she realized there was water in there) Scared me! My bf jumped in after her but she was aleady at the top swimming around. We ended up getting her a kiddie pool to play in and get used to the water for playing and not just bath time. |

Luckily my husband ( a former ocean lifeguard) was waiting for her. So she sank a bit and then he lifted her up. She didn't seem too scared. Then he held her over the water and her feet began to "doggie paddle" so he lowered her into the water again, but she couldn't hold her own. So she has been in with my husband twice more since and doesn't bother to try to doggie paddle. He just carries her around. I have a river raft (where there is mesh on the bottom) I put her in there and she liked it and left her "mark" :eek:. That's my Farrah...the marker. The life jackets are on the boat, so I think I will buy another set so I never forget them home or on the boat. Thanks for sharing all your stories. It is scary sometimes when you are the caretaker of these precious little souls. |
We also put Rusty in the pool with us for the first time this weekend...and not only is he not a good swimmer he HATED the pool. He immediately went for the side of the pool to get out!! I am hoping he will start to like it as we try this again :) |
Like a rock I have two yorkies, an 18 month old and a 5 month old. I haven't tried my youngest, but my oldest hates it. She has fallen in a handful of times and sinks like a rock too. She has gotten better, but she doesn't know which way to swim out and I don't think she will make it if she falls in without me watching. She'll tire too quickly. I've purchased a life jacket so I can teach her which way to swim to get out. |
Keoki fell in the pool and very calmly swam- it was hilarious- I was the one who was freaked out- he just got out of the water and shook off but now he goes no where near the pools edge. |
