My dc is almost 5, keen to get them swimming. Second lesson today one on one with a swimming teacher. He wouldn’t go in the deep pool as was scared (teacher was holding him) and when in the very shallow pool, wouldn’t really listen or follow instructions, just wanted to play, lots of shouting etc.
He said he wants to continue the lessons, I asked the teacher and she seemed to be saying if he won’t go in the bigger pool, how could she reach him.
Is he just too young? Should I wait or tell him he has to listen to the teacher etc (have said this before)
Its a long drive and expensive, so I want it to be worth it.
