Swimming
April 30th, 2010
Today we had a successful swimming lesson!
It was Evie’s third lesson, and she hasn’t been very impressed so far, and last week she spent 25 minutes of a 30 minute lesson crying and yelling “I want my mummy!”. But today I decided I was going to swim in the big pool while she had her lesson in the little pool. And it was a big success no crying (after I initially left her at least), and she even enjoyed her lesson. And as a bonus I got to swim in peace for half an hour, and then Evie got to play with mummy in the big pool.
Success! We celebrated with toasted teacakes, lattes and vimto.

I used to do the same when my daughter was learning & then started going half an hour earlier & took her into the big pool with me. It really helped her confidence & I had her swimming lengths whilst they were still doing widths in her class.
I also solved her fear of touching the bottom in the shallow end by getting some swimming toys & playing games. She then went on to join the local Swimming Club & swam competitively for 6 years, be careful what you start!
