My son started a 12 week swimming class in September, I actively dread thus class every week even though it's only 30 minutes every week there is some sort of unpleasantness. Yesterday was the final straw one child kept hitting my son around the head with his fleece, I know I know I sound mad but my son is very gentle and quiet and never hits back, to be honest I really wish he would so he isn't such a target. I eventually intervened and told the child to stop it, he looked straight at me and continued hitting my son. His mother was about three feet away but engrossed in a conversation with two other mothers and totally obvious. I don't know if I'm so annoyed about this because I didn't ask the mother to take charge of her child or because my son refuses to defend himself or because I just hate going because I know there's going to be something. It's at a private club and I just don't fit in , maybe that's why I don't want to go back! I can't figure it
Out. Anyway if it was you would you continue to go? My son is totally unfazed

A friend of mine told me to take a bottle of water along. These places are so overheated that it really takes its toll if you are not wandering round in swimming things.

I did, and it really did help, until I decided to quit anyway, because it was costing a lot of money and there was no progress!

You don't have to fit in - go, take a book and keep your head in it for half an hour.
