[quote=Anonymous]My son was exactly like yours, OP. The swimming and biking things were unsurprising because he also walked late and never crawled. This isn’t terribly helpful but what worked for us was having a second child who was more naturally adept. She passed her swim test a week before he did and she’s two years younger. Ditto on riding the bike. What really did help him (other than having a fire lit under him by baby sister!) is just time spent doing those things. Take him to a public pool where he doesn’t know anyone and just have him swim back and forth between you guys. DS took lessons but at some point he just needed to be in the pool practicing. Also, REI teaches biking and they have the method down pat. Sign him up for that. I know several reluctant bikers for whom that worked. [/quote]
