How have your kids fared with swimming instruction?
It is of PARAMOUNT importance that my kiddos know how to swim. Both boys LOVE the water and Jonah doesn’t have a lot of fear around it.
SOOOOOOO….
Guess who is in swimming lessons?
Actually both my boys are currently in swimming lessons.
Jonny is in “Swimming 1” for the fourth time. He refuses to put his face in the water so he cannot move up until he does so.
We have made some progress on that front, but Jonny needs 1:1 attention, instead of a class setting.
Actually…
BOTH boys need 1:1 attention.
We just tried doing “semi-private” lessons (one instructor for both boys)
When the instructor would try to work with Jonny, Jonah would wade out toward the deep end of the pool.
When the instructor tried to work with Jonah, Jonny paid ZERO attention to the instructor and would just “stim” with the water.
Mama had to jump in the pool to help the poor gal out, just to keep the kids safe…
So now I am signing up up BOTH boys for simultaneous private lessons (2 instructors for both boys).
We will see how it goes.
