Have you thought about completely deflating the arm bands?  That way he is still wearing them and might feel secure, but it is all him staying afloat.

Gosh, our girls spend half their days in time out, but we do have 4 of them! lol.  I hope he was feeling less grumpy after the 3rd visit.

Oh i havent been swimming in ages best not to at the mo dont want to dye the water now hahahaha. Glad you had a great time minus the timeouts maybe you could try taking away i1 arm band and once he is comfortable with that try taking the other ? just a little thought . hope u enjoyed your food LOL xxx

I like going swimming with the grandsons they love Romsey Rapids we haven't been for a whle though

Love Pauline

We often go swimming and I'm always starving afterwards too. Nothing hits the spot like a Mars bar after a swim.James and Luke can only just swim now.They had lessons at school before Easter and that seemed to help a lot.

Ah I love swimming with the Kids too, it fair gets rid of that pent up energy they seem to wake up with,LOL  Hope you enjoyed your grub, funny just how hungry swimming does make us. I have to stock up with Bananas when we go, as the first think out of their mouths after swimming, is"Mummy I am starving", hehe. Have a good day.

Luv Winnie.xxxx
