When DD started swimming lessons last year she could swim with one float, back and front, straight legs, no fear etc. Now she refuses to leave the side of the pool, unless she has 2 floats and the instructor holding her and she cries, turns her back on the teacher, won't do as she is asked and generally totally plays up. The 2 guys that teach her are great and I don't think moving her to a different class would help - I could be wrong! I think it is more likely to be a just turned 5 year olds insecurities and nothing I say to her is making any difference. I need some good advice! I'm turning in to the nightmare Mum that kneels at the side of the pool trying to spur her on. Any pearls of wisdom? Thank you.
