Hi all


We have been trying for a long time to find some organised swimming lessons for our two year old for a Saturday or a Sunday. We have tried the obvious (Better, Everyone Active, Waterbabies etc) but there doesn't seem to be anything available.


Does anyone have any ideas?


Any help will be greatly appreciated!


Thanks


Joe

Beckenham Spa

Cindy?s swim school

Possibly tigersharks


They don?t really do lessons at 2 - just a bit of getting used to the water and splashing about, which you could do yourself at any family session if you are able to get in the water. If not, is there a suitable friend or relative who could be persuaded?

You can't teach a 2yo to swim. As the last poster suggested, it's time in the water that's important. Take your child to Forest Hill or Beckenham Spa every Sunday for the next few years. They have early morning sessions in the learner pools. Get your child used to the water if they aren't already - holding their breath, paddling about on their front and back which will build up core strength and co-ordination.. then get them into the deeper pool when they're 4yo and start lessons shortly after.


I've seen so many kids at swimming clubs who have been in lessons since they were toddlers but at 10yo, they still can't swim properly because the only time they get in the pool is on holiday or during lessons (aka middle-class childcare).

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
