We were really excited today. We were going back to our Water Babies swimming lessons after a couple of weeks break and big sister was coming too (as she is still on half term). The little one was insisting that her sister couldn't come in "her" swimming lessons but the big one insisted that she was bringing her costume, just in case. So you can imagine everyones dismay when we arrived to find that our swimming teachers car had broken down.

Thankfully the Forest of Arden Hotel took pity on us and let us swim anyway, much to the delight of the 8yo.

I was amazed at the difference since I was last in the pool with the girls, I know they have lessons every week but seeing the little one able to get out of the pool and confidently dive in, while the big one is diving under the water doing handstands and somersaults, reminds me why it was so important to give them both confidence in the water.

I have to admit that whilst I may have got wet, I didn't actually get to do much swimming myself but I realised how much I enjoy the water.

I loved swimming as a child.

I loved swimming when I was pregnant.

I loved swimming with the girls today.

So what happens when your swimming lesson is cancelled? Well it gave me a reminder of how much I need to be swimming again.
