We took Miss Octavia to her first swim lesson today, which was just absolutely lovely.
I haven’t asked her, but I think she would score it a 6/10. Not exactly thrilled, but didn’t seem to mind at all. More than anything, she seemed a little surprised what all the fuss was about.
I don’t have many hard and fast rules about what I want my daughter to do in life, but one thing which is non-negotiable is being able to swim.
In Australia, it’s inconceivable that you don’t know how to swim. I joke that I don’t know how to, but that’s because my butterfly sucks, and I’m overall rather slow. However, I love having a splash around in the ocean, and hopefully Occi will too one day.
