Swimming’s a funny thing. Some people love it, some can swim purely for the safety aspect, others hate it. Some find it really easy, others are scared of water despite never having had a problem in the water. I’m on…
After the excitement of the badge presentation last week, this week’s swimming lesson was the last of the ‘term’. That means the toddlers get to choose their favourite activities and games to do in the latter part of the lesson….
Last week, N’s class were given their first swimming badges. All except one in the class had managed to achieve their Stage 1 swimming badge and certificate (she doesn’t come to many of the lessons so had missed the weeks…
After last week’s stroppiness and ensuing nightmare swimming lesson, I have to admit I was a bit concerned at how it would go this week. I made sure we talked about getting ready to go swimming early on in the…
