[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of mine could swim at 5 after a year of lessons. He decided he wanted to. The other is 7 and cannot swim, after years of lessons and playing in the water. He hasn't decided that he wants to, yet.[/quote] This was very similar to our two kids. The younger one passed the swim test--swimming the length of the pool without putting feet down--at 5.5. She may have had a couple of lessons but mostly she'd just played in the water with us. The older one was 7.5 at the time and couldn't swim, in spite of a few rounds of lessons. He took his sister's passing the test as a personal challenge and passed it a few days later. Now they're 11 and 13 and both good swimmers. So it didn't really matter.[/quote]
