The Starfish Files: Underwater
It was a big day for our little Starfish! We have a new instructor (I am no longer the only man) and he was very keen to get the babies learning some confidence skills by repeating certain movements and sounds - cueing. So, on the count of 1- 2 - 3eeee we would move our starfish sideways through the water. As the babies' confidence increased we were encouraged to move progressivelt deeper through the water. Well, Heidi went all the way under this morning! I think she was the only one to do so. She had absolutely no problem going under, but was a bit confused when she emerged. I developed the pictures from the last roll of film, but there were no good pictures from the pool, so I have another roll in my camera that should be better in low light conditions. I will try to take lots of pictures in various conditions and maybe one will turn out (Oh! To have a waterproof digital!)
