Water Babies

Hi all,
just a quickie to say that we have been enjoying the swimming at the local holiday camp that we joined. Isaac has really taken to the pool, especially since taking swimming lessons locally and now loves larking about in the water.

Patrick enjoys the water but being held all the time does restrict his movement and I assume, his pleasure. With that in mind, we have recently come across this website here which sells a swim system for babies with developmental delays or other disabilities. There is also a video on youtube here which shows you just how beneficial it can be.

From our point of view, we would be looking to use the ring part at the swimming pool but we can also use the pool (that is included) at home and even in the garden during the warmer weather. It looks like a great way for Patrick to excersise and build up strength in his limbs. One of the reasons that he is such a big fella is that he is unable to move enough to burn off the calories so this will no doubt help.

We are just waiting for a reply from the Company to clarify whether there are any weight limits or whether the rings are sized according to baby weight etc. If all goes well, we will get one and there will no doubt be some video on here very soon of Patrick using it.

We hope everybody is well.

Love from all of us here
