[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old has a fear of the water and we just did some private lessons. For whatever reason, the thing that initially helped get them in the water was a walk-in pool. It helped because they could judge the depth of the water and very slowly get deeper into the pool. They went from refusing to even get near a pool to happily swimming (in the shallow end) under water. Unfortunately, for us they got disoriented one day (thought they were in deeper water than they were) and panicked. It is has been a rough go since that day so I would caution you to find an instructor that really, really understands the level of anxiety your child has around water. [/quote]
