Can I brag about DS1? He can swim!

[Deleted]

I had no idea. My Mum had been taking him to swim class since DS2 arrived, to help out. She always said he was progressing and all, but yesterday we were in a friend's pool and we took off his floaties just to see, and he swam the length of the pool by himself!

It was doggie-paddle with his head barely above the water, but still. I guess all that $$ for swim class is paying off.

Highly recommend swim class for your babies :Y:

That is awesome!!! So he goes every week for lessons, no break? I've only done lessons during the summer for Claire.

Wow, that's huge, he's so young to be doing so well!! Cruz, you rock! That means he'll be having Beau swimming laps with him in no time at all. Congrats!

Yeah, he goes literally every week - on his own since age 2.5, prior to that we did baby swim where I went in too. It's really encouraged here because of the climate and all the water everywhere. Classes run year round and even during the school holidays. It's expensive though, $20 per 30 min class!

I wish we had a program like that here. I'm so paranoid about water safety. Good for him! I'm sure it's a relief to know he can swim on his own so well.

Thanks ladies. I'm just so glad he's getting somewhere, it seemed for a while he was really scared of class and didn't want to go. He's really cautious and we had to pry the floaties off him.

So when Linz is in her second Olympics and he's in his first we'll chill out!

This is awesome!!! Yay Cruz!! By the way I totally read this as ds2 and was all whoooooaaa whhhhaaaatttt ::head explodes:: hahaha

[thedahliharpa]

That is great!
H did a bit of lessons last year but I kind of blew it in terms of signing her up and then our instructor ended up moving across the country w/ no notice. She did well and was not afraid but I wish she was water safe already. Oh well, this year I won't be preoccupied w/ a newborn and I think she will pick it up fast.

Way to go Cruz!

[bebeetmoi]

That's amazing! Good for him!

That is so great. I'm planning on doing swim lessons with L when the next session starts at the YMCA in March. My parents are on a lake and we are on the watner all the time, so I want to make sure he's familiar froma really early age.
