[quote=Anonymous]Just keep trying, this was my 8YO until this summer! I feel like these kids were prime age to lose out when covid closed swim lessons (at least, it did at our pool). What finally made it click: year round swim lessons which suuuuck, but worth it bc I got to eat cheetos from the vending machine and play a game on my ipad bc parents are not allowed on the (indoor) pool deck. I told DC they had to take every lesson until they could pass the swim test at summer camp. At that point they could stop, or choose to continue if they wanted to pursue swimming as a sport. The camp swim test is NOT an impossibly high bar and they can take it as many times as they want until they pass. Lo and behold, passed the swim test the first day of camp! I credit less winter loss and major motivation.[/quote]
