Grommets and swimming

[1sttimeonhere]

Hello all

My 4.5 year old really needs to start swimming. He has grommets and has to wear plugs, I have found securing the plugs with plasters and putting a swimming hat on keeps him dry. What else do I need to know? Do group lessons work for kids that are all plugged up? Are individual lessons better?

Not sure on that one sorry, I'd maybe try post in Chikdren's Health or Chat. You may get a few more responses

Ds had moulded ear plugs made by ent. He used them with a swimming hat that kept them in place. They were no problem, but I did always make sure that swimming teachers were aware he might have extra trouble hearing (as he was also good at not listening, so it was very easy to think that!)
