Hi
Dh and I have never liked swimming nor been good at it.
I'm already anxious Dd (5) won't be competent either by the time she has to learn at school due to us not doing enough but been procrastinating guiltily for a long time. (DS is only 1)
On Saturday I finally took her and we really enjoyed ourselves splashing around in the shallow children's pool. I'd bought her a Konfidence vest on eBay but she didn't want to try it and was very confident/ happy and played with a noodle a bit. She didn't want to leave and we really had a positive time.
Should we start formal swimming lessons once we've had a few more fun sessions of just playing? Any tips to how I can best help her? I hate the whole environment but is this just me and might she even enjoy lessons??
Thanks for any advice
