Swimming with Swimfin
When D was born we had him in the water at a few weeks old without armbands. He never used them, he was swimming lengths unaided by four years of age. Things changed with Tilda, life was busy and it was easier to throw the arm bands on her and let her float with little effort and it’s the little effort that’s the issue.

Not just about the beach
Five years ago we went on the most perfect holiday. Dylan was yet to start school so we had the bonus of going in term time. We went to Ibiza.

Don’t get me wrong I love a tent but I was so tired of all the packing of bags and trying to organise the kit in the tent. We wanted to get abroad and simply cannot afford the prices; this seemed like the only way we could do it. We love getting closer to nature, exploring lots of different places on a budget (after buying the caravan, of course) and not having to travel ...
