My two DSD's learnt to swim last year - we paid for a few lessons and we also take them a lot (and I try to help/teach them) as their mum (who I have a good relationship with) doesn't (I think) like swimming and they never go with her. They are 9 and 11.
A few times recently they have gone in and we have watched from the side they piss about a bit and just splash each other, have tried to dunk each other and don't really swim - when they have ventured into the deep end the life guard always sends them back to the shallow end as they are clearly not strong swimmers.
Am really concerned to see photos of them swimming in the deep river near their house with strong currents and their mum clearly taking pictures from the house a good way away and them jumping of the jetty with no adult in sight or in safe distance to help if one of them got into trouble.
OH is away ATM and I don't know if I risk really over stepping the mark by saying something - it gives me a cold sweat thinking about it.
AIBU and if not how do I go about it?
