Yeah, that's hectic @ArraDreaming . It's so so scary. Never again.
And the thing is, this little one is the one we watch out for because she's not scared of the water. She just jumps in without any floaties. And seriously, she had a floatie and just slipped it off in a second!
I'm so glad things turned out okay. The middle one was the closest to her so when I screamed, he instinctively grabbed her head out of the water and held it until I got her out. It all happened in seconds... literally.
As for your 3 year old, I'm glad he was also okay....
Yes, I'm okay, but it's not something I want repeated.
Oh, and this little one has been on the waitlist for swimming lessons for 1.5 years now. She got a place and was starting tomorrow. I'm not sure if this has scared her so she may not want to have swimming lessons tomorrow.
I'll let you know how it goes.
