[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a big difference between water familiarization and swimming. The activities described are great fun and provide important building blocks. For actual swimming, though, get professional instruction. Many people know how to “swim,” but their technique is poor and inefficient. Also, “drownproofing” and water safety/self rescue are extremely important. [/quote] In a pre-COvId world, I would agree with you. But now, not wanting to add another person into our loop, I have no choice but to teach my kid myself. I don’t care about technique at this point. I just want to get him to be able to swim to the side of the pool and hand-over-hand until he can walk out. [/quote]
