From top left, clockwise: Daniel de Bont, aged four, takes a deep breath with the pool instructor, Robby Edwards; Jessica, aged three, kicks away under the watchful eye of her mother, Colleen Leahadley; Keith Nicol gives his son, Aaron, a flying lesson; Natasha Mansbridge, almost two, comes up for air in a shower of bubbles but in the safe hands of her mother, Jan; and Stewart Peck, aged in his grandmother’s arms and on his grandfather’s back.
