Sun 15 Oct Personal Trainer for swimming

Elise with her trainer Rob

Yesterday Elise was able to resume her swimming. It was suspended due to the nasty burn on her ankle around three months ago. Elise has always dearly loved swimming and was going to a pool until she was too ill to continue last year.

Swimming is now very much encouraged as a movement and exercise therapy for her now by the hospital. Aquastar Swim School Moorabbin did a wonderful job accommodating our needs and we ended up with having the pool to ourselves, Elise having her own instructor and Poppy having one to one tuition as well at the same time. Very impressive.

When we arrived at the pool the Manager came up to Elise and said, "welcome back". So nice of him. He has a positive, "can do" attitude which goes a long way in my books.

Elise and Poppy get a Personal Trainer each!

Elise got on superbly with her swimming but it was emotionally difficult - knowing what she could do last time she was in that pool and now seeing what had become of her. Elise is just so brave.
She was able to do around 17 laps and now one lap is tiring, still, she is just starting and will undoubtedly improve.
