First Swim in Public Swimming Pool

We went to the Woodlands Swimming Complex on Sunday, around 4pm for our first swim in public.
 
We love swimming but were daunted by the challenging task of showering after the swim.
 
The weather was just nice, cloudy but still warm. We changed into our swimming costumes and went in to the play pool first. The water was freezing cold! It was the most shallow of the 3 pools and had showers and a water slide. Ning was shivering and turning back almost immediately.
 
After carrying her around the showers and slide, we decided to go into the waist high pool. There, the water almost felt warm in contrast to the first pool. We went in and watched many big brothers and sisters, including little ones with their parents. Most of the little toddlers were wearing floats. Our Ning was one of the rare ones who didn't used any floatation device.
 
Ning watched Mummy and Papa take turns float and swim and she was so excited that she screamed and laughed at the top of her lungs. Towards the end, she was kicking her legs forward, went underwater towards Papa twice, and stayed underwater with Mummy and Papa, smiling!
 
All in all, I thought she really enjoyed the experience in spite of shivering a lot of the time.
 
Planning to go again soon, if weather permits!
