Topic: Swimming lessons Posted: 22 March 2007 at 3:36pm |
I just signed Caitlin up for swimming lessons
$110 for 10 lessons and both me and DH can go at the same time and it's covered in the fee. If she really doesn't like it after a couple of classes we can get a full refund and any time she's sick and we can't go we get a refund or have the class added on for the next term, I thought that was particularly good.
Now all I have to do is find a full body wet suit (with tummy control panel of course!) to wear and hope I don't get harpooned!

Harpooned - what they do to whales  With a massive big pointy spear... (certainly wouldn't be wishing that on anyone, you'll be fine Toni!)

I like that they give refunds if you can't attend!
Ella loved the water from an early age, so I haven't bothered with lessons. I will get her proper lessons when she's around school age, as I can't swim and it sucks!

I was thinking of starting Brenna next term too, cause she'll be 6 months then.
Toni - that is so good that you can get refunded if Caitlin is sick. Have fun!!

I take Tyrell to West Wave and I am a little upset LOL to see you get a refund if she is sick! Tyrell wasn't allowed to go for 1 week with a sore ear, we only got it added to the next term....good way to get us back really.
Other than that it is fantastic and we both love it. I was shocked at the first class to see they put their head under....but we are both now used to it (Ok not so much the head under bit Tyrell still splutters)
I have to add I wear shorts and a singlet and feel pretty comfortable in that. There are so many people around the pool that they don't see you anyway they all have theirs heads on their own children. And the babies are in a special swim room.
The amount of men compared to women is huge and nice to see, out of 10 in our class there is 2 mummies!n Go the dads!

I love swimming lessons. Andrew has been doing them now for a year and we are very lucky at getting them for half price (I am on leave from the pool) which is quite nice. I am really glad now Andrew is in the pool by himself so I don't have to get in with him.

am def going to be taking Gabriella swimming before 6 months for sure...Dh wants her on the boat like last week!!! so need her used to water...

Ro, they won;t take her under 6 months some sort of safety policy. That is only swimsation other ones may be different. I know private ones are from any age. However nothing stopping you taking her swimming once she can fit a swimmer.
