Swimming lessons with a baby and toddler?

[OceanPrincess]

Ah, swimming lessons, the bane of my existence!

I've been taking DS1 and had to make sure my sister was there to look after DS2. It hasn't been ideal as my nephew finishes his lesson 15 minutes after DS1's lesson starts, so sister had to help nephew get dressed etc while holding my Ds2. I think she's started resenting it a bit so, happily, from next term DS1 is in on his own and we are all going at the same time - DD, DS1 in on their own and I'll be in at the same time with DS2.

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately there are no crèche facilities at this pool.

I didn't realise you could wearisome carriers in the pool, but I don't think it'd work for us as DD1 needs lots of hands on.

It would be great if I had someone to help, but all my friends who are home during the week have kids too...

I see my only option as DD2 in the pram if I am to do during the week....it'll work if she's happy, but not otherwise lol.

i had to stop swimming lesson when i had #2. As DD is now 3, she can go in by herself and so we can start up again but i haven't yet.
