DS has just been given a level two certificate for swimming.
It says that he can do things like enter and exit the pool safely and Bob up and down and blow bubbles through nose and mouth.
The thing is, DS is 9.5 and has been going to these lessons every week since he was two months old. As well as week long intensive lessons in the school holidays and a couple of terms of lessons at school.
He can swim a length of the pool and I had rather expected him to be learning strokes and actually swimming.
I actually emailed the teacher last week to ask about his progress. She has not replied but as he was the only child to get a certificate today would seem an attempt to demonstrate progress but he could do all the things listed several years ago. He has recently been diagnosed with DCD and I have mentioned this to the teacher and asked how best to help him progress but she did not seem to think the DCD was an issue.
Aibu to expect some reasonable progress after over nine years of lessons at a cost of God knows what....
