Hi!

Yep - Louis where's swim nappies boardies and rashie - he's my little trendy boy! hehehe. Also I find sometimes when he doesn't have much on he can be a bit slippery to hold onto.

He started at around 11 months or so and that was fine - he can now swim on his own with a swim ring. We started off at one place and now were at another so don't be afraid to try different places. This second place is heaps better. A lot more relaxed and fun. I think it's much better for kids not to be pushed and to really feel comfortable so they don't develop any fears of the water.

I'm going to start Dylan with lessons probably term 1 next year...but remember - you don't need to do a lesson to take them to the pools! I find when they're really little you can get them familiar with the water just by taking them yourself! When they're a bit bigger and can interact a little more the lessons are great!

Just my thoughts...
