Holidays and swimming

Feels like a lifetime ago now but we have just been on our first family holiday! Now its not like we haven't been on a holiday before and its not like we haven't had a great time, In fact we feel lucky to be able to travel around the world visiting family, But it was fantastic to get away and be just the three of us for a change. We took the opportunity to do very little with our time just relaxing. In fact we did nothing but Sleep Eat Drink and visit the swimming pools on the resort we were staying at! The upshot of all of this is that Christopher can now swim un assisted. I don't really remember learning to swim my self. I have a distinct recollection of being in swimming pools with arm bands and lots of memories of swimming proper as a young child however the transition from one stage to the next is a blank! Having watched Christopher's transition from non swimmer to swimmer I think I may under stand why I don't remember. I blanked it out! Learning to swim is a fairly hard task and while Chris did love it in the pool it was certainly a fairly harrowing experience for him to start swimming on his own. All in all though we had a fantastic good time.
Unfortunately my camera finally gave up the ghost so I don't have any pictures to upload but if your interested this is where we stayed.
