Nobody really tells you what to expect before your baby’s first swimming lesson.
Truthfully, you’ll probably be more nervous than they are.
They might cry a little. They might cling to you.
Getting changed afterwards might feel like the biggest workout of the day. All of that is completely normal.
Your little one does not need to perform, do everything perfectly or love every second straight away.
Baby swimming is about building confidence at their own pace, getting used to the water and celebrating the little wins as they come.
So if you are thinking about starting, take the pressure off. Come as you are, expect a few splashes and remember that confidence takes time.
