Mine has no fear. If I let her she'd happily jump in the deep end. If I can't stand up, it ain't happening.

Then let her, my daughter is 6 and she is currently at grade 7 level on swimming at Clements Hall.

Most others in her class are 3-4 years older and she absolutely loves it. We go every week plus other fun swims. We started both ours at 6 months old in the water as its such a vital life skill. My son who is 5 is already on stage 4. :happy:

Er....no. My wife would kill me if I couldn't grab her JIC.

I can understand that but why not get her involved in local swim classes? They'll assess her to the right level of instruction and supervise her all the time she's in the water.

I'm not a great swimmer but my daughter will now do 20 lengths of a full size pool and think nothing of it and is proficient in every single stoke including butterfly which would probably kill me if I attempted it :Worthy:

She is mate, that was my original post!

Oh yeah, that'll teach me to skim read through stuff.

If she is progressing really well I'm sure they'll be encouraging her to jump in as much as possible.

She does mate, all the time but when she goes with me, it is, as I said shallow enough for me to stand as I'm a hopeless swimmer.

My eldest, who is nine, has just quit stage 8 because he can't do a tumble turn. Even when he was much younger he couldn't do forward roles. I don't know what it is that he can't get the hang of, but he has now given up. His instructor said it was a shame because she has never seen a nine year old with such good butterfly technique.

My youngest is also much younger than all the others in his class. He's also small for his age and is literally half the size of some of the other kids, which makes him look even younger.

Phil Brown has similar issues with his players.
 
Not making me happy, but making me laugh.

My son is playing FIFA 18 at the moment. He's playing as Southend against Oxford. Southend are 1-0 up. He's also just been awarded a penalty. He missed.
 
The mods contacted me to let me know I was PROBABLY going to be voted poster of the year, but I would have to agree to an extensive interview & photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway.
 
Baked my first cake today. Berry & Cherry. Smells good, will report back on taste.

And my speciality diced beef and rice dish is well on the way, to be complimented with 3 bottles of excellent Belguim beers later.

Due to having a few bananas that were going a bit mushy, I've made my first banana cake.

Taste.
Sensation.
