hi there, I have been taking 16 mnth old ds swimming a lot recently and he loves it...he's very confident and I want to help him to learn to swim.....should I enlist him into a group or is it fine to just play with him and get him to use his arms and legs until he can tread water? Or am I expecting too much from him ;D

Groups are good for teaching you ideas. DS loves, loves LOVES waterbabies :)
You could always go to a couple of group lessons, then go swimming on your own instead of the group (or as well as the group)
-
yes, thanks, i will see what's on. ;D

groups are great but i've found they are really free time with an instructor wandering around. it's a good incentive to make you go once a week though.

I liked lessons because if I was paying then I would definitely go!! I really wish we lived closer to an indoor pool because Spencer will now blow bubbles in the tub and put her head under the water all on her own, I think she would love swimming lessons.

ah bless her, that's really brave~sounds like she is a water baby like my DS, he likes to walk around in the baby pool without me holding him like he's a man about town all cocky and laughing/calling out to other people. ;D
