Tegan,

Jenna loves water, but she still opens her mouth underneath, and swallows half the pool. I think the best thing about swimming lessons is its taught me not to be so stressed about babies and water. They actually dont mind getting their head under, and the schools are great - they will teach you the basics like kicking, floating ont heir back and dog paddle by a fairly young age. The whole idea is to get them to a stage where if they fall in to water, they can get to the side of a pool and hang on.
They are a great idea, and might get you and Lily more used to water on her head. She might cry a bit at first, but she'll get used to it, and will probably love the playtime!
