This is what we gals do when Kyle is having his swimming lessons and hubby is doing his laps. Just hanging out.
Unlike her brother, she is still wary of the water and will cry if I bring her to the middle of the pool. She rather stay at the side, feeling safe and contented with just splashing around in the shallow waters.
It's fine by me and we play there together, often playing pretend where she is washing my hair and having coffee/tea using the swimming board as a table.
Hopefully over time, she will overcome her fear of the deep water and I can then enroll her into the swimming school next year.
