I seem to have produced two aquanautic children (aquanaut - underwater swimmers or explorers). Miss A has shown much enthusiasm for swimming since her intensive lessons, so today we were back at the leisure centre early in the morning. Today she insisted she needed goggles. Not wishing to dampen this new found interest, we purchased a pink pair. Then unpacked them and realised we'd bought age 6-14. Well she does have a big head. Spent one hour prancing in the pool adorned in new goggles and armbands, and pleased to borrow some floats from the lifeguard too. There is no stopping her. We did have a lot of 'but Granny did it like this'. So Mummy had to do it like that too.
Miss I meanwhile was out with Daddy at the market and in the M&S cafe beaming at lots of old ladies and eating toasted tea cakes. After a hectic day of eating, swings and sand eating in the park, and polishing off a large quantity of fish cakes and pancakes, Miss I was ready for her aquatic adventure. The bath. I have never seen so much kicking and splashing. She practically shouted at me when I tried to remove her from the bath. Miss A then climbed in and wore her goggles in the bath too.
I like water too, being an Aquarian. But would prefer a hot tub, steam room or heated swimming pool. Or the sea. Actually.
