Baby's First Dip in the Pool

I was a total water rat when I was a kid. My son loves the water, but is a little apprehensive about it still. But the baby - just 6 months - can't get enough.

The water might still be in the low 70s (relatively cold, actually) but she squealed with delight as she got wet. First her feet, then her hand, then her tummy and torso, all while holding onto mom. But when she holds on, it's not a tight grip like my son has (and has had since infancy), it's a loose grip . . . one of someone who can't wait to kick her feet and swim off.

Paige is just a polar opposite of her brother -- the boy who screamed bloody murder when I dipped his little toes in three years ago.

What was your child's first reaction to swimming?
