Swimming from the deep end of the pool

Laura, Kinnon and I visited my colleague Farid, his lovely wife, Geraldine and even more lovely daughter Aranati (did I get her name right?) Went over to Geraldine's mom's condominium and Aranati and Kinnon had a ball of the time playing in the pool. Aranati is about 1 year 8 months (2 months older than Kinnon)

I was very impressed by how Aranati, could float and move herself around just balancing on a noodle (its a long cylindrical flotation device) near the deep end of the pool.
We borrowed Aranati's noodle and had Kinnon tried out... He was pretty scared, and we could see him hanging for his dear life... but at least he managed to hang on to it. Farid was pretty impressed by Kinnon seeing that it was his first time on the flotation device.
