I would like to get some advice from parents or swimmers here. My boy likes to learn swimming but he is afraid of cold. Tends to shiver after 15 minutes in pool, eventhough he wears thermal swimsuit. Any public swimming pool that has warmer water or indoor heated pool? Trying to learn swimming but if he cannot stay in water long enough, how? And any recommendation for good swimming instructor or lesson along north east? Many thanks.
Quick reply is make sure he is wearing a full-length neoprene swimsuit that fits well. Additionally, he can wear a double layer and a swimming cap. Try swimming in afternoons, as the sun has had time to warm up the pool. Finally, its totally fine to wait and stop lessons till he is older and has put on more weight.
