We've just gone up a class this term, where I don't have to get in with DS. Well, he's hating it LOL.. so I'm getting back in with him next week so we can wean him off me! NEVER was it suggested that I leave entirely. I was squatting down next to him at the pool edge, followed him up the pool to meet him at the other end etc. We gave it 2 goes.. coz often he just takes a while to get used to things.. but yeah, the instructor suggested I get back in the pool. Bit of a pain LOL.. now I have to find someone to help with Kayla, and I was hoping to get in with her next term. Aah well. We'll see how we go.

But yeah.. I'd look for another school, and definitely go swimming inbetween lessons to keep the fun element in swimming.
