Our pool doesn't get used too often. Being enclosed, the water stays very cool (not heated by the sun) and our local weather is usually mild, rather than the heat we are used to from the Wheatbelt. K was recently given some diving mermaids and has been super keen to get them in the water. She is normally pretty good with the cold water for about half an hour, until the teeth chattering becomes too much.
Natti is a real water dog and jumps in at the beach or our little swamp whenever she has the chance. She likes to crouch down and put her front paws and face in the pool, shaking her head, splashing her paws and drinking the water. We don't encourage her to jump in the pool as we don't want her to jump on top of our yet to swim competently Miss Nearly 5.
Nana loves the water and K recently took great joy in rescuing Nana from 'drowning'.
Nana and K take turns of being the rescuer and rescuee.
K attends a half an hour swimming lesson every Saturday during the school terms. Her swimming hasn't progressed much in the last 12 months though so I think Mum and Dad need to make more of an effort to get K in the water more regularly.
