To stop swimming lessons as a consequence for poor behaviour at the pool?

I’m not sure if I’m over or under reacting.

DS is 3. After swimming he went into a cubicle and locked it from the inside so I couldn’t get in. He was then shaking the door so it made an awful racket (to the point the parents on either side had to shout to their children to be heard) laughing and screaming.

I have told him I’m not sure we can go back as apart from being poor behaviour it was potentially dangerous but I don’t know if that’s OTT.

It’s not a stupid comment, evidence actually shows that non swimmers are less likely to drown as they stay away from water! If we’re near a body of water then I will hold my children’s hands and they know they’re not allowed to run. I have the same rule round dogs. And if they are too young to understand then they are kept on reins.

That's like me saying I won't have a car crash because I don't drive.

Or a non vaccinated person who never comes into contact with other humans is less likely to catch COVID than a person who is vaccinated and travels on the Underground every day.

Or any other stupid, irrelevant and arguably fucking dangerous comparisons you want to try and make.

You can drown in your Weetabix and milk if you're not conscious. No water needed.
