Swimming

After reading Melanie's blog. I decided to enroll Big Boy A into swimming classes. W* is already taking classes and there was a preschool aged class on the same day and time that W* had her class.

Well we went on Saturday for his first class and everything was going fine. Until the instructors were showing them how to kick their legs and the water splashed in Big Boy A's face. He jumped up and wouldn't go back into the pool for the rest of the lesson. I was annoyed and frustrated all in one. Fortunately there were other parents there who's children were afraid to go back into the water also.


After the class ended the instructor just told us to keep brining him back and eventually he will get in the water. I also met a parent there who's son also was like Big Boy A and he told me that his son wouldn't go back in the water after the first 15 min of class last session and now he loves the water. I felt much better after speaking to that parent. So next Sat. I hope it's better.


Here he is before the freakout.
