A Family Affair

I thought this was so cute, and quite brave. They didn't venture too far from the coast, but still! Starting them young. I bet the kids loved it!

A wonderful family photo and scene

and that bird swimming along too - love it

[Diana]

How wonderful it must have been for them, especially with a bird on the water too.

[Kathy A]

I bet they loved it too. Is that a teeny duck I can see?

[Issi Bannerman]

@kjarn Yes, just cruising in the opposite direction!

[Casablanca]

Adorable! Staying close to the coast is always wise for beginners.

[Joan Robillard]

Very nice

[Christina]

Looks like a lot of fun - I bet the water is cold!

[Renee Salamon]

What fun

[PhotoCrazy]

That is neat - love when I see young ones out hiking with their parents

I think this is imprudent. Many times, during my work on ships, we received calls to search because someone was carried away by the current.

I think the parents are teaching those kids adventurous skills but it makes me cringe as I’m nervous of the water. I expect I wouldn’t have been though if my parents had done this with me…..there are different points of view from both sides. I expect both parents are very competent swimmers & each looking out for the child they are with.

hmmm I hope they did a risk assessment Issi , cool photo

[Islandgirl]

Adorable!

[Kathy]

They won't grow up to be chickens like I did.

[eDorre]

Neat catch!

[Boxplayer]

Very sweet

@haskar @happypat Yes, a definite element of risk, and not something I'd ever have done, as I too am a bit nervous of the 'big blue'. Currents are dangerous things. But hopefully these parents are experienced and know the area well.
