[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 420119, member: 1991"] We can access the same thing (it's the same organisation the school subs to) in summer holidays and on summer weekends. Maybe it's because so much of Aussie settlement is near to the coast, that our government insists on kids being taught how to swim. it's compulsory in schools but also strongly encouraged in the community. difficult child 3 even went to a special swim class for kids with disabilities. it is a far cry from chucking a class of 30 or more kids with widely varying abilities into the same pool, with inadequate and bullying supervision. Andy - you can borrow my steel-capped boots. Also, feel free to share with them, the Aussie method. tell them that when they put something like that in place across the country, you will comply. Until then, you know your own child best and he is NOT to be bullied and you are NOT to be lied to. You have your sources, and it's not just your kid. Let the teacher chew on that one. Marg [/QUOTE]
