| I've only just caught up with this thread and everything seems to be covered.
However, having worked with my daughter through her training started when she was ten I have three pieces of advice related to getting the best out of all concerned:
1 - Make sure the child is warm
2 - Make sure the child is warm
3 - Make sure the child is warm
Honestly, everthing else will follow so long as they've warm. They'll be more positive, more confident, more comfortable, happier and learn more easily. If that means wasting a bit of cash on a wetsuit or drysuit that'll not last long it's money well spent.
School wetsuits in the UK really don't cut the mustard for little ones in my experience. |
