My dd is 7 and has been attending swimming lessons all this school year. She's gone from being afraid to put her head under the water to confidently floating on her tummy and making the appropriate ball, star, pencil shapes, coming up for air inbetween (and sometimes spending 2 minutes sweeping the hair out of her face). It's fair to say, she's not a natural in the water.
Buf ffs, if she was, I wouldn't have to spend money on swimming lessons for her. That's the point isn't it? That they teach her to swim?
I sit in the pool area every week and listen to the instructor yelling out the names of other kids in the class, instructing them on what they should be doing, but my dd is quiet, does as she's told and gets her head down, so doesn't often get mentioned, even.
SO...at a cost of £75 a term, x3 terms, with the same instructor, am I being unreasonable to expect dd to come out of her classes being able to swim?
