First swimming lesson

After discovering that Marquez can't swim (thread here), will sink straight to the bottom of the pool and actually needs to learn how to swim - we took him this morning for his first proper less.

Poor boy looked terrified at first but got the hang of it after a few laps. He definitely had a great workout and then was treated to wash, blow-dry and mani/pedi and ear clean afterwards

Will definitely keep up these lessons and try to get there at least 3 times a week before we leave for Europe.

Aww he looks like he's got the hang of it now, great pics Diane xx

Great swimming and such a good workout too   

Brilliant work Marquez!

Looks brilliant   

Well done Marquez! What a brave lad.

wow how cool is that!such a clever boy   

Awww Diane, Marquez looks so much happier here      Well done     

Aww bless bet he was shattered Afterwards

Good idea, but it wore him out too

Aww fab, well done Marquez   

Marquez is a very fast learner. Well done  

Thanks everyone - definitely a great workout and the guy handling him was really good to take him out for a short rest when he though he needed it. We're going back tomorrow and the centre owner has already said that one of her dogs is going to go swimming in there with him and told Angel to bring her swimmers so that she can go in there too

Great idea with Angel getting in there and helping out too Diane. Sounds like a proper day out   

How fab he looks like he certainly got the hang of it   

Hopefully today he is more comfortable and relaxed in the water with Angel and the other dog in there with him
