I can't think of anytime that DD had a bad moment involving water....we even used to deliberately put water on her face in her 1st 12 months and she loved it!! (have pics to prove that one!! ) But am with you on the frustration point aussienic!

JoMarie - thinking about the ear thing - whilst she has never indicated soreness, your comment made me wonder whether she doesn't like the sound under water iykwim?? Am clutching at straws here...........

But am definitely going to look for one of those shower caps AS WELL AS goggles - what a great idea!!....................then if that doesn't work.....snorkle as well!!

I really do appreciate your thoughts and it's so nice to know that I'm not alone on this one, thank you so much ladies!!
