Doting dad Tom Cruise teaches Suri how to swim... before thrilling hotel guests with a rockstar performance on his balcony

Top Gun  Tom Cruise soared into action, by giving his daughter Suri a one-on-one swimming lesson.
Playing the part of the doting father, Cruise kept close watch over his daughter as they practised paddling around the water yesterday in Miami, Florida.
Even though he was covered up to his neck in water, the 49-year-old maintained a cool composure as he floated with a fedora on top of his head.

There she goes: Water baby Suri appeared to catch on rather quickly

Cruise was enjoying some well earned leisure time with his wife Katie Holmes, 32 , and adorable daughter Suri, five, after toiling away on the set of new film, Rock of Ages.

 Katie and Suri both opted to brave a wet head, though the former wound her hair into a chignon to keep it from the chlorinated water, a look that it fast becoming a favourite of hers.
The Don't Be Afraid of the Dark star opted for a black bikini and white shorts when she hopped out of the pool, where she sat lovingly alongside her muscle-bound husband.

The Cruises looked like any other family enjoying some precious time together as they dined on pasta at the hotel, then opted to cool off in the secluded pool, where Tom helped Suri swim in an adorable show of father-daughter affection.
Suri appeared to be wearing a pink and blue swimming costume, rather than a dress as she did on Miami beach last month, when Katie had possibly been unprepared.
Tom was seen serenading his ladies at one point, no doubt with one of the rock classics he's been working on for the hotly tipped blockbuster.

It's the first break for the A-Lister since he was feted by 40 of his close friends and family members in a surprise party organised by Katie at SoHo Beach House in Miami, on July 3.
Among the attendees were Cruise's three children – Isabella, 18, and Connor, 16, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
The birthday shindig took place both inside the SoHo Beach House and on its roof, where guests dined on Italian dishes as well as chocolate cake, according to the People.com.

Katie was delighted that she managed to pull off the surprise, and couldn't hide her glee as she arrived at the bash, looking lovely without a scrap of make-up.
Excited about the festivities, the mother-of-one then broke into dance, moving to the beat of some Caribbean music as she arrived for the party.
Tom, dressed in a white shirt and his fedora hat yet again sat contently at the table as he kept a close eye on Suri who was playing with a beach ball nearby.

Ever the fashionista, Suri wore a grey striped dress paired with her favourite gold heels for the occasion,

Katie had to say goodbye to her husband after the shindig, to fulfil work commitments, but was obviously keen to get back to Miami to see him.

The actor is giving his all to this adaptation of the Broadway musical, in which he stars alongside Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin as a long-haired, tattooed rocker called Stacee Jaxx.
It's a very different role for Cruise, and Katie has given her backing to the career departure by revealing that her husband likes to perform at their home.
'Tom is such an amazing performer. Yes, we have music in our house and it’s amazing,' she told Access Hollywood recently.
