Emmett has so much fun in the tub during his bath that his parents figured it was time to introduce him to deeper waters. They enrolled him in the "Starfish" program at a local pool, and he joined 9 other babies for his first swim class. Emmett's mom and all the other first time parents stood on the pool deck, armed with cameras to capture the moment.
Of course, swimming at this age does not mean backstroke, sidestroke and fancy diving. Emmett's dad took Emmett through the fundamentals of bobbing in the water, floating on a noodle and chasing colourful balls, all while singing nursery rhymes.
Emmett was surprisingly blase about the entire experience. He didn't complain, nor did he splash and giggle and kick in the water. He kept up a 'ho-hum' expression for the entire lesson. Next week, the instructor will take it up a notch in the hopes of getting a reaction...cannonballs off the high diving board.
