Swimming lessons with private instructor

Hey gals.
Does anyone have any recommendations for any private swimming instructors (possibly with their own pool) around the Harrow area? Thanks

Hi, I don’t run private lessons, but I do run group sessions - Little Splashers Swimming. If you let me know the age I may be able to help

Thanks Samantha. My toddler is 9 months old.

My company will be starting up classes in Harrow at 6:30pm on Wed/Thurs/Fri as we have received requests for evening sessions. These are starting around mid-March. Otherwise I also have classes that run at Alec Reed Academy, UB5 5LQ on the weekends

Thanks I’ve just checked your website and I can see the classes ( for Harrow) but it shows ages from 4-12. I can’t see any for under 1 year olds. Do you offer lessons for under 4 years?

Also, do you have to pay for a term up front or can you turn up ad hoc? Is it with the same instructor each time?

How big are the groups and is it £18 per session? Are there packages?

The classes for the younger ones are not available to book just yet as we need to confirm the sessions and teacher. It would be with the same instructor each week and we charge on a monthly basis.

Classes are 10 per session (each child with a parent) and yes £18 per lesson.

No packages to offer at the moment. If you would like me to add you to the waiting list to be sent info on the Harrow baby classes, just complete the enquiry and you’ll automatically be added

Hi, can i get the info for the swimming too?

Of course, if you visit the website and make a web enquiry I can send you the info.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
