This is so much fun!
Before I started my swimming lessons, there is no way anyone would have been brave enough to let me put my head under the water!
But now, after lots of practise, I do a pretty good job!
My favourite part of swimming is having my face in the water. For the grown ups, this is a bit scary. They worry I will choke. They worry I will aspirate - swallow water into my lungs. They worry, because they know that if I aspirate, I could end up in hospital, with pneumonia.
But, I love the water! I'm learning to hold my breath while my face is under water. I am learning to spit water out. I am learning to lift my head out of the water. I am learning not to tip my head back (which usually makes me cough and choke).
And, I am learning to kick and splash and swim.
Swimming is amazing exercise, for me.
Happy summer, everyone!
