I'm not a strong swimmer and didn't enjoy swimming at school.<br />I still have anxieties now and hate the thought of going under water, hence why we signed up Freddie for WaterBabies lessons so that he would hopefully be able to enjoy swimming! <br /><br />Well done for being out of your comfort zone and taking him! My husband takes Freddie for lessons and I sit and watch from the side (sometimes a little nervously when he goes underwater, but I know he'll be fine). <br /><br />It's wonderful that you are taking him to learn such an important life skill. <br /><br />Amelia x<br />http://ohlittleonesweet.blogspot.co.uk/Oh Little One Sweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033058070233494363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624303271642739916.post-62061175205170784712014-05-29T03:01:42.194+01:002014-05-29T03:01:42.194+01:00I definitely understand this.

It comes up a lot that my own Mums fears are a LOT of whats caused my problems and anxieties now. Her fears were so at the forefront of my childhood that they rubbed off on me a lot. And they became even stronger in me than they were in her.<br /><br />So I know its SO important not to let history repeat itself and not to show my many fears to Tyne as he grows up, but its so hard to do that when you fear for their safety so much.<br /><br />xxxHayley: Sparkles and Stretchmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653232539343925928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624303271642739916.post-27085268617794428322014-05-28T17:48:03.485+01:002014-05-28T17:48:03.485+01:00I am 30 soon and can't swim. I remember a scar...I am 30 soon and can't swim. I remember a scary time at a swimming lesson at school and since then have never felt confident unless I can touch the bottom of the pool. I will, at some point, take the children swimming as I think it's important to swim - Not being able to swim has stopped me doing so much! xDonnahttp://redheadbabyled.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624303271642739916.post-34649102754085125702014-05-28T14:43:30.895+01:002014-05-28T14:43:30.895+01:00I nodded while I was reading this post Alex. Whil...I nodded while I was reading this post Alex. While I am not afraid of swimming, I do have a lot of anxieties that have come to the surface more since becoming a Mum. Being a Mum has definitely made me more paranoid and I think about the 'What if's?' so much more, I think that is only natural. This post made me feel a little teary, you sound like such a good Mum. xKatie @mummydaddymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371578506277998443noreply@blogger.com
