[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally let my kids dictate their interest, or lack thereof, in their extracurriculars. Swimming being an exception - it was a must until they were competent enough swimmers that water safety was no longer a concern. My oldest didn’t love it so we stopped then, the youngest is enjoying it so we keep going. [/quote] I agree, but I wonder if I should waste my money on once a week lessons since she’s not into it? Should I just take her to the community pool regularly myself?[/quote] She's 4, and you're probably bringing up way too early. You're talking about spring/summer lessons in February - that's eons away for a 4yo. I'd sign her up for spring lessons (April? May?) and the day before just tell her whats happening. If she hates it, maybe take a break for another year. However, swimming is a non-negotiable skill in my family, so she would have to learn at some point if she lived with me.[/quote]
