DD's 1st lesson about 4 weeks ago was awesome. She had a good time and I was amazed that she enjoyed it.

Lesson 2 - she screamed and screamed as I handed her in to the pool. She even had her hands full of my hair, just latching on to anything she could find! She didn't scream throughout the lesson (Thank God!) but was visibly upset and teary and tried to escape a couple of times.

3rd Lesson - She didn't scream, but was even more upset and still tried to 'escape'.

Next Lesson, she was sick so we didn't go.

4th lesson - She cried for the 15 minutes before the lesson and screamed when I went to hand her over, only to be asked by the swim teacher if she was meant to be in her class and to double check at the counter!!! I went to the counter and told them that even if she was meant to be in her lesson (She was) that I wasn't going to go back and put her in after sitting there all that time only to be asked if we were meant to be there!

They are going to give her 3, one on one lessons now, but I'm still so put off by it all. Should we keep going? There's only 5 more lessons and she hasn't made any progress. When I take her in the pool she kicks like a champion and puts her face in the water, walks around the edge of the pool and can climb out really well.

Anyone have a similar experience?
