Swimming starts as early as 6 months! Sunday afternoons are a good time to have a dip in the water! We had our baby swimming lesson with K and L, and the babies had lots of fun splashing around.

It’s time for the weekly swimming lesson, and “Joe” is playing up again. You have tried to prep him before the lesson, and he has agreed to listen and cooperate, but somehow when the time comes, he is resisting to pay attention again.

A few thoughts may probably enter your mind: I’m not bringing him to lessons anymore The teacher thinks I have no control The other parents are getting annoyed that my child is […]

Daisy Smith enjoys swimmingDaisy enjoying floating in the water

In this article, we have an adorable 13-month-old Daisy Smith who laughs out loudly and gleefully every time her mother Danielle takes her for a swim at the pool.
