My son, Ryan Stanton, is not a bad swimmer. He is definitely a sprinter though. He finds distances tough. Within about 4 lengths he is drained and struggling. A few months back he did his 400 meters and found it so hard. He was sobbing as he swam and his dad just managed to drag him out of the water before he vomited. After that occasion I wondered how I could help. So every I tried giving him a complete shake before each lesson and he definitely felt it helped. Well today he went to try for his 600m badge (which he has been dreading after the 400m). And its wasnt helped by the fact that there have been lots of problems at his usual pool which has caused him to miss a few lessons. So before we left home I did him a chocolate complete shake. With a banana and honey in it and asked him to wash down one of each of the fruit, veg and berry capsules (he had had his usual chewables this morning!). Anyway - he found it a doddle! He swam his 600m with out any struggle and then climbed himself out and got showered etc. I am not only a very proud mom, but am also happy that I have been able to give him something to help him. Thanks JP!
