Get 'Em Started While They're Young

My brother borrowed my camera this morning to take pictures of Isobel swimming.



At age three she is already doing a rudimentary dog paddle that looks, as Jack puts it, "more like a baby elephant swimming than a dog paddle."



Still, when I taught swimming lessons, I had some nine-year-olds who hadn't mastered even a baby elephant paddle after three years of instruction, so I think she's doing great.


Although she seems to have inherited the same 'floating' gene that I possess that makes it almost impossible to stay underwater for very long without weights.
