So proud!
In spite of not having been to the pool for several weeks (a series of colds picked up at nursery), my 15-month old grandson today swam 5m on his front and 5m on his back!He now has both the ASA Duckling One and Puffin badges.
It helps, of course, that both me and my daughter are adult-and-baby swimming teachers!

Re: So proud!
Wow !!!I'm not confident in the water so I always say I can't swim so it was a priority for me that both my children learnt to swim and also my two grandchildren are very good swimmers.
As part of the school curriculum my 8 year old granddaughter has to go swimming once a week but because she is already a competent swimmer (although she does't enjoy it !) she has been put in with the older age group ..... but what amazed me is when she told me that only a few of the children in her own age group can swim and most have to wear arm bands !
Shame on their parents for not taking them for lessons
