Ad – We swim with and write for Water Babies. Today, we got N’s graduation letter and certificate from Water Babies. Sad occasion, but also a sign of how far he’s come. We don’t actually finish with Water Babies until…
Although we’ve always swum with Water Babies, N’s had a few teachers during his 3 years of swimming. Mostly to do with changing days, going from a Wednesday to Friday, and for the last 18 months or so, to a…
Both N and I are a tad on the chatty side…(except him on the way home from nursery). I’ve always been of the belief that a child will be a lot more stable and happier if they have things explained…
After a good few weeks at swimming, but one missed due to chicken pox, we went back last weekend with me hoping that the week off hadn’t put N back a bit. Sometimes we find a short break does some…

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been going swimming at lunchtimes to try and get fit, and get back into some semblance of healthy living. Well, the swimming’s going well (also looking healthier thanks to the outdoor pool and building…
So, swimming. I think, after having 2 to 3 weeks of dubious attitude, behaviour and lack of attempt to show any interest in what he should be doing, that we’ve hit a swimming learning plateau. That depressing phase where young…
We’re not been having particularly successful swimming lessons the last couple of weeks. N’s happy enough to go swimming (once I’ve told him that he has to go swimming or he’ll not get to go out on the farm!), and…
