I had heard about these lessons for months but was unsure about going due to the prices, if paying for each individual lessons it would have been fine, but they want the whole fee up front at the beginning of the term.
£10 for 1/2 hour lesson once a week, but following Christmas I thought it would be better that we start taking you to swimming again just in case you became afraid of the water.

Your first lesson was thursday 10th Jan in Seiont Manor in Llanrug. It was a lovely place but the access to the pool was questionable and maybe not the ideal place to stage these lessons. Had to walk down some initial steps in the hotel itself and then a narrow metal winding staircase in the pool room itself. It was a tight squeeze with you in your car seat, and impossible with a buggy.
We had to change at pool side. Hard to do with a mobile baby i might add. But on the plus side the seats surrounding seats were heated and were always dry for the next person.

The first lesson was a failure for you and me, but it was the next day we found that you had your ear infection and explained why you didn't like it at all.
Unfortunately it was for this reason we couldn't go the next week. We had to wait for your antibiotics to finish and everything to clear.
The following week we went but once again you were unsure, but the water was a little on the cold side, and you didn't stop holding on to me.
We made progress from there, the next time we were in the water you splashed a lot more and enjoyed yourself, but you were still somewhat cautious.

What the lessons did provide was a chance for us to learn how to teach you to be happy with going underwater and develop from there. And at the end of the term we had a chance to get a photo of you underwater.
