The kid went to his first swim "class" today. They're not being taught to swim at this age, of course, it's mostly just moving around in Mom's or Dad's arms.
Not to go into too many details except to say that the boy did not enjoy his first experience in a pool. I suspect, however, that it had more to do with the sobbing kid in the changing room before we got into the water, and the fact that my son napped very poorly today, than with the pool experience itself. He was primed to be miserable, and in fact he was.
I left after twenty minutes, although the class is half an hour. Not sure what my approach will be if he's this miserable each time we go. I think I could endure it two more times, but not much more than that. And if there's no improvement, I'll just stop and try again in a few months.
