[quote=Anonymous]My anxious 15 year old daughter has been fearful of water since she had a bad experience when she was young.  She can swim, but is not a strong swimmer. Her school requires a yearly swim test and last year they recommended that she take swim at school for a PE credit to strengthen her skills.  She told me that during the test there was a backup of other swimmers behind her because she was so slow and that it was very embarrassing for her. She’s also very self conscious being in a bathing suit at school and worries about a multitude of other possible embarrassing things that could occur during swim class.  I’d like to find a one-on-one swim instructor to help her get her skills up to speed outside of school. A woman would probably be best, although it’s not an absolute requirement. Most important would be that the instructor be a teacher sensitive to the angst of a teen girl who is easily embarrassed and lacks self confidence.  Does anybody have any recommendations?  [/quote]
