5. Go swimming

If you're going to get wet, why not do it in a fun way rather than walking through the rain.

Remember that most kids only swim during school lessons, so going to the local pool or leisure centre with mum and dad will be a fun activity in itself.

Many pools also have wave machines, slides and fountains, so it's not just about ploughing up and down lanes, and many sports centres have separate pools specially for kids and will provide floats, balls and other water toys.

You'll also get the chance to see how well they're doing with their swimming, build up their confidence in the water, maybe give them some tips and, most of all, have fun as a whole family.
