Swimming lessons

Yes I would give her a break too, we did the same with my son. Pushed for a year but he hated it!
My daughter started school this week and we decided to postpone her swimming classes until at least after half term, she loves it but we knew she'd need time adjusting to school every day
1 week parkdean break with a pool they will want to swim every day
I was exactly the same as you. I made my daughter go swimming even though she didn't want to. As it turned out, the more I made her go when she didn't want to, the more she hated it. I have now stopped her going and have decided that me and her are going to go swimming together until she is ready to start the lessons again. I have realized that if I make her do something that she hates them she is never going to learn to like it, she will just hate it more because she was forced to do it. I do still agree that swimming is a very important skill but I also know that she will learn better if I go at her pace instead of mine. We are going to go together for a year and then maybe start lessons again next year depending on her. She is still only 4 so she won't be unsupervised around water for a long time yet
Thanks so much all. I think we’ll give it a break and look at it again next year. I didn’t realise it was part of the school curriculum so that’s good to know. X
My 4 1/2 year old hasn’t been swimming since she was like 2😂😬🤦🏼♀️
I'd probably give her a break and try again when she's older. We are considering this with our little boy. Luckily his lessons are on a Saturday morning. Don't forget swimming is part of the KS2 curriculum so they will eventually all learn to swim anyway.
