For what its worth, i dont think missing max 6 weeks or so of swimming is going to inhibit his ability once he does get in the pool. My DD#2 was your sons age when i was heavily pregnant with DD#3, thus the reason i took her out for a term of swimming....you wouldnt know it now, 10 months later. Kids learn and adapt quickly. Maybe you need a term off, it doesnt seem worth the worry...
Good luck - i know how these things can take over our lives. You will look back at all this in a week and think 'im so glad i made that decision.....
Seems to be a theme here... go with the gut...lol. When will we learn, really!!
mbear, that's good feedback. Thank you so much!
Well, omg you wouldn't believe it. I feel like I had a sign this morning. The phone rang at around 7:45am... YES AM and I was like WTH is calling me this early! Well turns out to be the swim school (the new one) and they wanted us to come earlier as a lot of kids had called in sick so they were cancelling his time and bringing it all forward. I told them no we have some things to do before swimming (hmmm is it bad to lie?? lol) and that it was ok we'll do it next week (gives me a couple of days to build up some courage to speak to them - I was thinking of telling them that his old swim school has changed his time back and that we will be continuing there... what do you think about that???). So, I got off the phone and thought WOW I think that's a sign, the decision has been made for me. Also, in hindsight the time of the classes at the new school is pretty bad with his sleep time, cos he actually seems to be having his nap pretty much around that time now anyway.
Firstly, just want to thank you for your help and advice It was really helpful to me.
Secondly, I called the swim school yesterday and told them that due to Oskar's reaction we didn't think it a good idea for him to go there as we didn't want him to get any bad water association fears. So I asked them to cancel him and asked when I could go and get a refund from them. (I didn't give them the option of sending it and didn't ask IF they would, said I would go there and get it)... so no probs. Going to pick up the money next week as there is not a mutual time which suits before then, but it's all good, I'm getting my money back and that's all that matters!
