In August Ethan did swimming lessons with his school, he really enjoyed it so we decided to enrol him at Paul Sadler Swimland. He started part way through term 3 and continued in term 4. Since he was enjoying it so much we decide he could do a Holiday Swim Program - which is a half hour lesson once a day for 5 days.
Up until about a month ago he didn't like to put his head under, but after he did it once he loved it - now we have trouble keeping him above the water!! It's amazing how his confidence has grown. He actually got into trouble a few times during the week for going under when he wasn't supposed to!
And he's under again!!!
He also was afraid to jump in from the edge - but for some reason during these holiday lessons he decided he could do it and now there's no looking back. I had to video it so Mark could see how well he was doing! Now we have to work on him not holding his nose while trying to swim!!
At the end of the week he got a certificate for Treading Water for 30 sec unaided - which is a great effort!
