Sink or Swim

Henry is hating swimming lessons this summer. We're going to a different place than last year, and plus Henry's age group is supposed to have no parent participation in the pool. I don't think Henry is ready to go it alone yet. During the first class this summer, Henry fell in the pool while his teacher was busy with another student and he had to be rescued by the lifeguard. So yeah. I think we're going to move him into a class with younger students so that Husband can get in the pool with him. It will be less stressful for EVERYONE involved.

  1. Our city swim program allows you to choose whether to do a side-by-side or just toddler with instructor swim course for 18 months to 5 years old. We're doing the side-by-side starting in June.

  2. i dont know why, but the prevailing theory here seems to be that parents are going to be too overprotective and the kids wont ever learn how to swim if the parents are in the pool with them. i just want to make sure Henry doesnt DROWN!
