I have two dc aged 6 and 7 who can both swim 25 metres and are confident. They have a swimming lesson once a week.
My problem is that they joined the club just after october half term (they could swim before they joined) and seem to have slipped backwards. They are in a group where the children are a few years older than them and have a stronger stroke. I think this has disheartened them and now they dont really want to go anymore.
Do I persevere, although they can swim and have therefore achieved what i wanted for them? I dont even know what stage they are at and they havent had a badge since starting there so they must also feel they havent achieved anything. I am thinking of ringing the coach and explaining how they feel to see if she suggests anything, the lessons are expensive.
Sorry for waffling!
