My son who is in year 3 has just started swimming lessons at the Pavilions. We were told that it was preferred that children do not wear goggles for the lessons but they could if we requested it. He did wear goggles for the first lesson but was then told he couldn't.(against our express wishes). The reason that the swimming teachers do not allow goggles, is that if a child fell into a river or lake they wouldn't have goggles on. That's their reasoning. OK fair point, but they would also not be wearing swimming trunks, they would more than likely be fully clothed. So by their logic, can they teach children to swim fully clothed with shoes on???

How many Olympic swimmers do you see swimming without goggles?

Let's face it, chlorinated water stings your eyes. Would you choose not to wear goggles to go swimming? What does any of this gain for the children?

I've only heard bad things about the lession at the pavilions.

My child goes to lession in a private pool at Barns Green. Cost about the same money and only six children to a lesson. The teacher is even in the pool with the kids which I think is the best way to teach them. Send me a PM if you want the contact details.
