Tesla swimming

Last Sunday we hung around a pool. And although in the past, Tesla has been fine with jumping in water and even the ocean with waves, suddenly she was spooked. It didn't help that initially there was a giant pool cleaner that shot out squirts of water, so she really didn't want to be anywhere near that even after it was turned off.

Dav was patient though, and with a noodle and torso floater, Tesla gradually got into it, and really, for the first time, swam. She got the kicking and paddling, and could get herself back to the pool edge by herself. She's been talking about the pool ever since.

Having her learn to swim for safety reasons is on my list that we haven't done yet, so I'm pleased she got a taste.
