I took Ollie swimming today, went with a few friends that I used to work with all with babies.  Ollie loved it and has hardly been able to stay awake all afternoon.  The changing facilities aren't great if your on your own but as we were in a group it wasn't too bad as we all watched each others babies when it came to getting out of the pool and dried.  I will deffinatly be making it a regular weekly even for Ollie.

Sorry-we've have a smallish pool that we share with 4 or 5 other families, and it gets cleaned everyday!
