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…
Well, I tried to get my title to be all f’s, but informative will have to suffice. Last weekend was Britmums Live 2014, and this year I made it to the whole lot. I had a sponsor this year, the…
I have to admit, if N’s efforts at his last 2 swimming lessons are anything to go by, he’s going to be hard work to encourage come school work. It’s great when your child loves swimming and being in the…
If you ask toddlers who their heroes are they’d probably say a children’s tv character, maybe a proper superhero if they’re into those, or their mum or dad. N would probably answer ‘don’t know’ which is his standard answer to…

I couldn’t believe it this week at swimming. It was really emotional, and it didn’t even involve my child. Well, of course he was there but for us it was just another swimming lesson. It was ‘breathing’ week this week,…

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…
