Wm had his first swim lesson yesterday - and it went better than I expected. He actually got into the water within the first 5 minutes without barfing and/or crying. He was quickly sorted into the small group of children clinging to the edge of the pool while the the rest were sorted into "average" and "advanced" groups and moved on with the lesson. Meanwhile, 2 instructors mostly just tried to gently pry Wm's group away from the wall. They did it well and even gave the weirdo kid group some "free play time" in the baby pool (the rest of the normies got freeplay in the big pool). But the biggest win was that Wm actually seemed to have fun and said he plans to willingly return for next week's lesson!
