After seeing how much Finlay loved his baths, we decided it was high time that we hit the pool.
Mom went out and found him a cute little bathing suit/diaper combination and the three of us headed to the Y to see how Fin would take to the water.
As it turns out Finlay was quite comfortable with his first time in the pool. To say he was having a lot of fun may be a stretch, as he only broke out his big smile for us a couple times, but throughout the entire swim, all 15-20 minutes of it, he looked around and appeared quite content. AND there was no crying at all. So that is a bonus!
We were able to pull a few strings and get special permission to bring our camera into the pool to take a few photos as well as a video. As you will see, Fin worked on his front and back float as well as just getting a chance to "bob around." He seemed to enjoy the "Motorboat Motorboat go so fast" game. I know Grandma was a pro at playing that game ad-nausea when I was a baby so we hope she is planning to bring her swimsuit with her when she lands in Victoria in a few weeks. We think Fin is going to want to head back to the pool soon and it would be a great outing for him with the woman who has inspired so many water-babies! Lyndze used her skills as a former Y "parent and tot" swim instructor to even get Fin to do a full "underwater pass" in which Fin got dipped under the water and passed over to me. Aside from being a little surprised Finlay seemed to enjoy his first underwater adventure. Unfortunately, we were not able to get a video of this as it really was a two parent effort.
All in all we had a fun time at the pool and will no doubt return soon! Check out the video and pictures below and we will be in touch soon!
