Gosh Ds has been swimming all term and only just gone under in the last two weeks! It's not on to do that in the first lesson when it's a new environment and person to get used to. Ds screamed the second half of his first lesson we had to pull him out but he loves them now.
Poor baby and poor you, it really does depend on the instructor and swim school. My DD's swim school says only to dunk "if they give you the cue", which they learn in time. Otherwise you only get their "chin" wet.
the others girls have great advice I just wanted to say I use to love swimming days because of the great day nap DS would take! Oh the bliss, he would sleep in the car on the way home and then easily for another 2 hours. Oh how I miss swimming days.
Thanks girls, I am going to ring them today and cancel our lessons. It seems that this isn't the norm and there are other better places that we can go to. DH is furious about it too. I don't want DD to be frightened.
I've paid for the first month up front so I hope that we get a refund. DD is a clingy little thing just now, I don't want some stupid swim instructor making that worse for us.
OMG Sue, i can't believe they took poor little Evie off you and dunked her under on her very first day of swimming lesson's - that's not on at all.
I really hope it hasn't caused Evie to now have a fear of the water ;( Goodluck speaking to the swim school today and i hope you get a full refund too. (If it was from our local swimming pool, i hate to say it but i doubt they will refund you - i used to take the boys there but had a horrible instance with C at the time so cancelled, got no refund was just a case of too bad, someone missed out on that spot because you took it kind of attitude)
