Today was the day that rainbows parents were going to take her to the swimming baths for her first swimming lesson. Rainbow was really excited about this.

Rainbow: mummy will I be able to swim like nemo? *finding nemo was rainbows favourite film at the moment*

Windy whistles: *chuckles* maybe one day baby, but right now let's just focus on basic swimming ok?

Rainbow: ok mummy.

Bow hothoof: are we all set?

Windy whistles: yep! We've just got to drop scootaloo round at my mothers and then we can go.

They had asked windy's mum to look after scootaloo so they could focus on rainbow whilst they taught her how to swim.

*time skip to at the pool*

Bow hothoof: ok dashie, so the first thing you have to do is learn to kick your legs. Can you hold onto the size of the pool and try it for me?

Rainbow: ok daddy!

She held onto the side of the pool and began kicking her legs, and even slightly splashing her parents.

Windy whistles: *giggles* ok I think that's enough kicking. Why don't we move onto arms strokes?

Bow hothoof: *chuckles* good idea.

After doing the arm strokes it was time for part that bow and windy were dreading the most. Getting rainbow to dunk her head underwater, rainbow didn't seem to like her face getting wet for some unknown reason so they hadn't told her about this part yet.

Windy whistles: well done sweetie. Now the next bit you might not like as much, but it'll be ok.

Rainbow: what is it mummy?

Windy whistles: you need to dunk your head under the water sweetheart.

Rainbow: *starts to tear up* n-no!

Bow hothoof: dashie it's ok, just try it once ok?

Rainbow: *calming down* o-ok.

She dunked her head under the water but her parents had forgotten to tell her that she needs to hold her breath. So as soon as she went under she started to choke and immediately came up the surface coughing and crying.

Windy whistles: *hugs rainbow and rubs her back* shhh baby we're sorry, mummy and daddy should of told you needed to hold your breath.

Rainbow: w-wanna g-go h-home!

Bow hothoof: yeah come on let's go.

The left the swimming baths and fetched scootaloo from windy's mum. When they got home they sat the sofa and watched finding nemo, they decided they try the swimming lesson again another day.
