Gymboree and swimming
We wanted for Zosia and Jas to
feel comfortable in water, so when they were less than 6 months old
we started taking them for baby swimming classes. Thanks to that they
have never been afraid of water and enjoy swimming a lot.

| Even when Jas was just 3 years old and Zosia 8, they were not afraid of playing and swimming in a lake in Poland. |
Whether or not to sign up for these classes and how
long to attend them, was mom and dad's decision. It's obvious you can
not ask a 6 months old if he wants to play parachute with other kids
at Gymboree, but ... you can see if the little one is interested in
the class, if he is having fun. If the child kicks and cries every
time you try to enter a big swimming pool with him then don't do it.
Listen to him, maybe the water is too cold, maybe the chlorine is
irritating his eyes or maybe he just doesn't like it.
Don't push kids to doing something they don't enjoy.
