So – a follow on from Marcus’s first swim lesson. Second one was today and what a huge change in confidence.
Initially a bit wary – not fussed on having his feet washed off in shower when they aren’t grubby but rules are rules.
Again a 20 minute session – hardly any nerves and a few times he actually jumps from standing on the ramp into the water and starts swimming to me on the other side.
Still swimming being very gently supported. He manages quite a few feet totally unaided and showing no nerves. During the rest times he’s sitting on the ramp looking quite happy.
His confidence increase is obvious to see and even the guy there said it’s noticeable. He’s a pretty strong swimmer when he gets going
He’s got another session next week – then I will probably leave it as that as I know if the worst was to ever happen he would be OK.
