baby upset by swimming lessons?! (water babies)

[boboismylove]

Wasn't sure where to put this, but we just started water babies lessons. Its a massive amount of money for me but I our local pools are freezing and I can't swim myself so wanted some proper teaching.

I joined after the first two couple of lessons of the chapter. My baby was so happy for the first 5 minutes and then they dunked him underwater! He cried for the rest of the lesson and even cried in the bath just now which he has never done!

Any experience with water babies? Will it get better? Is this normal?

All my mum friends did these lessons, we didn’t. There is no difference between our daughter and the ones who did the classes. They all need the same proper swimming lessons. We just take ours to our local pool from a young age.
