| Jet Ski |
Today was Tom's last swimming lesson at Ingleton Pool. They have been really good fun. Can't remember if I have chatted about them before, but the first one didn't go too well, he clung to the railings, then clung to the teacher and then clung to some other children. The teacher suggested that maybe we should put him in the baby class. I asked her to give me one week to sort him out. I managed to borrow the life jacket they use in the lessons and then took him swimming twice to get him sorted.

He was a changed boy in the next lesson, the teacher was impressed and he was allowed to stay in his class. Phew! I then took him swimming in the pool once or twice a week to make sure he was comfortable in the water. The pool was really busy each time we went but that didn't seem to phase him at all. Pretty much each time we went Sam and Ben from next door were there. They are completely fearless in the pool - bombing all over
the place. I tried to explain to Tom that he could have loads of fun jumping in and splashing around too, but he didn't trust me.
Anyhow, we had fun at the lessons, we met more mums, had picnics in the park afterwards and had generally good Friday mornings. In his last lesson the teacher made some jet skis out of some woggles and the children had an extended play session with them. Here's Tom having fun with his.
