Hi all,
I'm feeling very guilty about this but we've been really crap getting into a swimming pool with DD who is now 26 months. She's only been a handful of times. I'm mainly blaming The Longest Winter Ever.
Anyway, I took her the other day and she loved it. We're not going to do structured lessons just yet because she has so much else on at the moment but I'm looking for tips to teach her myself.
The really great thing, despite us being so crap and despite bloody one year olds zooming past her on their own is that she's super confident and doesn't seem to have any fear of the water - when she bobbed her head in a few times she came up laughing, so that was encouraging.
Have you taught your DCs yourself at this age? Any useful tips beyond the obvious holding out a float and kicking?
Thanks! xx
