Riley has always really enjoyed swimming and being in the water. We have had her in the pool a good few times and last week-end we managed to get our hands on a Polly Otter - which is a swimming aid for young children. The idea is that there are a few floats which are removed as the child gets a better handle on floating and kicking etc. They also say that it tales a while to get balanced etc.
The first video clip is of Riley just after we put her in the Polly Otter. You can see that she was trying to balance but had a good idea about kicking etc.
Then we get to the next day. The confidence is up and she can move around and comes when you call. She was also trying to get her ball etc.
The only trouble is trying to get her out the pool. Little blue lips etc. do not seem to phase her. The kicking also tires her out as well.

She's really amazingly at home in the water. I'm very impressed!
Fantastic... she'll be a huge encouragement to Leo when we come over!
