[quote=Anonymous]Maybe at 10 years old when he can't swim (which is a safety hazzard) you wait until he's 11 years old? I think even for an NP child 10 years old can be early for sleepaway camp (not that some 10s can't do it, but there is lots of time to do it) And I'd see if you could enroll him in swim lessons weekly for the next 12 months and see if he can learn to at least be safe in the water (float, swim a specific stroke enough to get away from an overturned canoe and not panic) even if he's never a true swimmer. I know he's low tone - does that mean he can NEVER swim or just that it will take a LONG TIME to learn? Some places the rule is you need to pass a swim test in order to do the water activities (canoe, boat, etc)[/quote]
