Last weekend I took the family away for the weekend to Galway. No particular reason for the trip. Just wanted to get away before the schools start up again.
We stayed in a hotel on the edge of the city and it had a marvellous pool and leisure centre. Our kids have never been interested in swimming but for some reason we felt that this might be the weekend that this changed. And it did.
We had packed arm-bands, goggles and swim hats (and swimming trunks for the boys) and they really surprised us. On the morning of the saturday the older guy was straight into the pool while the younger guy just wouldn't even consider it. I managed to talk him into getting changed into his trunks and once he had done that he was into the water like a little duckling.
They spent 2 hours in the pool that morning and then wanted to go back in later that evening, this time for an hour.
We left sunday morning but not before another quick dip into the pool.
Brilliant.
Really busy in work and such interesting days these days. Change on the horizon too.
