It’s the little steps that make the skills come together. Skills are built slowly, week by week. Try to swim every week at least once. Get in, get wet, have fun!

Our little people have opinions too! Try to complete all the skills but don’t push it too far. If they do get upset – sooth, cwtch, rock & bob, sing, distract.

Remember there are other factors to consider. If a child misses a session, is tired, out of sorts, due a feed, teething, had a bad night, in a bad mood we have to be flexible.

We always need to praise every effort, no matter how small. Everyone loves to be praised! It’s a great motivator!
