Freya has gained new skills in swimming, thanks in part to her swimming pal, Signe. Signe has been able to swim short distances for a few weeks or so, and Freya has been only to willing to test her boundaries. She cannot actually do much in the way of moving around, but she is throwing herself into the unknown, and managing to bring herself up to the surface. I don’t think it will be long before she is able to swim in the same manner as Signe.

Also, she has been learning how to breast-crawl, with very good coordination. Again, she is not able to sustain herself, but the actions are there. Doggy-paddling is coming on very nicely, as well.

It is a slightly strange thing to experience, I must say. Seeing Freya try to stop herself from drowning, but knowing she would have no chance in a real situation, is a tad unnerving. I will be a happier Jon when she can keep herself afloat and be able to head towards the safety of the side of the pool, which won’t be long if everything continues as it is.
