| I'm in the South East (Dartford, Kent).
At the moment he is not that interested in it (like comming to club nights/days) and enjoys swimming.
Only last year did we manage to get normal swimming goggles on him.
Yesterday he took his first few breaths underwater (2/3 breaths total - with me holding his nose)
His older brother dives - just I am consious that If he does decied to want to dive there are some huge hurdles involved for him.
Danger perception is improving - he got hit by a car a few years ago and the flipside of that is he is now very awaire of traffic.
Navigation would be fine for him as he only has to go somewhere once and he remembers the route precisly (even years afterwards!!)
He is only 8 so any 'full' diving is a good few years off, I just wanted to get the info/raise awaireness before hand
He may decide its not for him, but by keeping him as involved as he wants to be, It keeps him happy.
He only learnt how to swim (not greatly but enough to get out of trouble and can do about 200M without touching the bottom) - the reason - I told him he could not go on holiday with us to Lanzarote until he learn how to swim as the pool would be just out side our door!!! Dirty trick but he loves the water, and that focused him to learn rather than just play.  |
