"Izzy Underwater"

O Bless, what a good idea.

Your Great Grandaughter? Congratulations for the early start. I am nealy 70, I have a little girl about the same age, she takes swimming lessons too, but I am only the Grandfather. I wish I had her parent's permission to show a similar picture here. BLESS BOTH.

She is doing so well. Blow Izzy Blow like a hairdryer. lol :O)

Thanks Cinders, Im so pleased Izzy loves the water, I dont think you can ever start too young learning to swim;0)

Aww thanks Costa would love to see a picture of your Grandaughter;0)

Thanks Olive she is indeed doing very well, dont think it will be long before she strikes out ;0)

She looks so at ease, even under water,Bless her, and well done to Laura for starting her so early.

Thanks Val isnt it great to see her obviously enjoying everybit of it;0)

You can see how much Izzy loves it Carole , I think it's a wonderful idea to get them started swimming at a young age , will PM you ASAP we have been to the coast today with our grandchildren I'm shattered ! x

Thanks Amy. I do hope you havent had all the Thunderstorms that we have had today, enjoy your time with the family;0)

That is a super Photo of Izzy,Carole..I totally agree about them learning to swim at an early age..we will have to introduce her to Thomas,for future Olympic games..they would make a good addition to the British team :o) x

Thanks Sandra its a good picture Izzy has even got her eyes open and yes a couple of Olympic Champs in the making;0)

He got his stage 2 certificate and badge last week..he was so proud showing them to us :o)

I bet he was and Alison too ;0)

Izzy won't be long before she gets her first one either,by the look of her :o)

amazing how they can go under without choking, if we did it that way mouth open we would swollow it all lol,
well done izzy :)

Thanks Sandra, it is amazing and eyes open too ;0)

What a brilliant pic Carole! Did you have your head under water when you took it? She's lovely and it's so important to learn to swim. I can't swim and me from a sea port!:-)

What an amazing pic PP. However did you manage it? Congratulations to Izzy's parents on taking her swimming as soon as possible. My own Granddaughter, Freya, also loves going to the swimming baths with mum and dad, and has gone since she was very tiny. I didn't learn to swim until I was 40! which is something I regret, as to this day I still have very little confidence in the water :(

What a brave, sweet little mermaid she is and a superb underwater picture of her.

thanks Ba . Waddy and WildRrose, Laura[Izzy's Mum]took the picture she was knelt at the side, It has come out good hasn;t it! and Im so pleased she is having swimming lessons, not just from the safety aspect but from the sheer pleasure it brings too;0)

I'm like you, Waddy - I CAN swim, but hate getting my face and ears wet. When I was about 5, my parents paid for me to have swimming lessons (Hotwells baths in Bristol - very cold, FAR too much chlorine) and the teacher, a Mr Read, just threw me in, out of my depth, and said "Of COURSE you can do it if you want to and have to." A version of the "full immersion" method of teaching, I suppose. I don't think my confidence, or my lungs, or my sinuses have ever really recovered. It took me another 10 years to learn. Far, far better to do it this way, Carole - she looks as though she's really enjoying it. Swim, Izzy, Swim!

Thanks Gattina, not a good experience for you, but glad you were able to overcome it and eventually learn to swim, I keep promising myself that I will take up swimming again [thats if I can fit in my Costume lol] and I m sure Izzy will be swimming very soon ;0))

You will have the biggest lake to try your swimming skills again ,next month Carole ! ....I won't be joining you Lol..

"Biggest Lake"? Where are you going, Carole? Somewhere warm?
