[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this sounds just like my DS. Started in group lessons at age 4 - did this for several 8 week stretches. Not much progress. Just didn't not want to put his head under water. Took a year break. Started again at age 5. Still would not put head under water. Did several 8 week stretches and stopped. Age 6 started with private lessons for a year. He is happy to put head under water, learned crawl and back stroke. But WILL NOT swim in water over his head. I have gotten so frustrated with his S-L-O-W progress that we decided to skip lessons this summer, make the summer about being in the water for the fun of it and less about the structure of learning strokes and deep water. We'll start up with private lessons in the fall. He's very reluctant to try things he's afraid of. I guess it will be a long haul until he's comfortable enough in the water. I'm at least comforted to to know that there are other kids that take their time as I was beginning to get really worried.[/quote]
