@Hannah he loves the car, never had an issue with that. Timing wise the baby group have ranged from 11 to 1pm and swimming is at 3.30 so I don’t think it’s that, I always make sure he’s napped and fed too
He is still very young & it’s all so new. He will get there I’m sure x
Could he be cold at the pool? Does he wear a top as well? Do you wet or splash his face in the bath? He could be that he is not used to sudden water coming on his face. My husband was splashing our son's face with water without warning during bath time on purpose to get him used to swimming , he loved it
My little one wasn’t great with classes at first and I’d get so stressed with her screaming in front of everyone that I think it just made her scream more 😅 now I always get there with plenty of time to make sure she’s well fed and relaxed and then so am I. On my first class I tried to follow the class completely, nowadays I follow her lead, like for baby sensory or baby massage, if she doesn’t want to be picked up or she doesn’t want a certain part massaging I just leave her to it, whatever makes her happy. It doesn’t matter if we miss out on tiny bit of the class if she’s happy. I didn’t see myself going to a class on my own with her after the first few but now we have something on most days and it’s getting so so much easier and enjoyable as she gets older
For swimming we had the same He had to 1. Be fed early enough to do the swim but not so late he gets hungry during 2. Got a wrap so he wasn't getting cold. 3. Timed a nap beforehand ao he wasn't grumpy tired 4. Made sure to support his head and other areas because irs a proper little workout keeping it all balanced (the extra head support from me made a huge difference)
Classes are often over stimulating for such little babies
Is it having to be somewhere at a specific time? Or the car? My little one doesn't like the car so always arrives upset which makes it hard
