First things first – you really do need to get out of the house sometimes – even if the rain hasn’t stopped all day.

Gather everyones swimming stuff together – get bags packed up with goggles, floats, zoggs (things you can throw in the watera dn dive down for!) towels and cossies and head off to your local pool.

I know it can seem a chore getting there and getting undressed in changing rooms that are often freezing, but once in the pool your kids can swim wild for the next hour and get rid of that pent up energy – which they were using to ransack your house!

As well as being a fun activity, their swimming techniques will also be improved the more they go.  So, 2 things acheived in one hit!
