[quote=Anonymous]We have challenges with our DD, 7, and swimming. She has a huge fear of putting her face and head underwater. Totally averse to taking classes for this reason. Background: we started swimming lessons at six months! It was great. Carried on with a few classes as a toddler. Didn't do any during the pandemic. Somewhere along the line some anxiety set in. She had swimming daily in last summer's camp but was so anxious about it, it literally kept her up at night. I think some of the instructors just took a hard line and that set her off even more. She loves the beach, water, water parks, and the pool in general. Recently I've taken her to an indoor public pool and we paddle around sans floaties and time how long we can do it, play with boards, balls, etc. She's into it and does want to learn. Now I'm thinking that I should just really try to help her along, though I don't consider myself a great tutor in this subject. Anyone have a suggestion here, or even a program to follow? [/quote]
