First Hydrotherapy session

Roxie had her very first swim today. Here she is on her way in, before she even got her ears wet:

Andy went in with her under Lynn's instruction.

Once she got going:




The hydrotherapy is to help build the leg muscles up and help her recovery.

Basically, she splashed a lot because she was trying to keep her head up out of the water - which only got her head wetter, of course. She didn't enjoy it all that much, but we'll work on that.

We alternated between swimming and walking around the side of the pool to make her use her bad leg. She did 3.5 minutes' actual swimming in her first session (which is about normal).
