So you've decided to sign up for VACSWIM this summer

So you've decided to sign up for VACSWIM this summer. 

Geez you're a good mum. 

You care about your kids' safety in and around water, you want them to experience the joy of water confidence, and want them to have a fun, yet educational activity these school holidays.

I call fairy dust! 

Deep down you really want a break from keeping the little blighters entertained, occupied and from fighting with each other. You want a 45-minute reprieve from "Mum, I'm bored", "Mum, I'm hungry", "Mum, I'm hot" and just everything "Mum. Mum. Mum!"

So, I encourage you to think of VACSWIM as your own summer paradise.

Pack a good book, a stack of trashy magazines, create an awesome playlist (a playlist without Justin Bieber, T Swizzle or Meghan Trainor), bring your favourite toe nail polish and relax poolside or beachside everyday for a full seven days. Lie back on your fluffiest beach towel, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, pop your headphones on and make animal shapes out of the clouds above. 

Imagine Bali, Fiji, Hawaii, Broome, the Gold Coast or even a five-star resort on Koh Samui is where you're transported too each day.

Ah bliss! 

Remember your kids can't see you, they're busy, eyes full of chlorine and salty water or foggy goggles. 

Just set a reminder alarm on your smart phone and promptly sit upright staring in the direction of where your children are a few minutes before the end of the session. 

Smile broadly when they look your way as the class ends, throw them a two thumbs up or a quiet round of applause and get busy with awesome compliments. 

They will ask "Mum, did you see me?" You will answer "Of course darling, you were brilliant!" 

Then promptly hand them a few gold coins and treat them with mixed lollies and an ice cream. 

A small price to pay for paradise! 

Enjoy VACSWIM mums, you deserve it!
