[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anyone is gonna say anything about you teaching your 6mo to blow bubbles. 
I took my kid with a friend once a week from 6mos to 3.5 to get comfortable in the water. Blew bubbles, face in, floating etc. Then started lessons with a teacher at 3.5. 
I don’t know any public pools that allow you to hire an outside teacher and then use their pool to teach strokes/technique. [/quote]

I think it is a good idea though.  The swim instructors at the public pools don't even know how to use floaties to help kids learn how to swim.[/quote]
That’s because you’re not supposed to use floaties to learn how to swim …….. [/quote]

Bingo. If you want to your kid to never learn or be proficient, strap them to any flotation device! This way they never learn to float, the basis for all swimming [/quote]

You never learned to think did you? Someone told you what to do every second you were in the pool.  Swim instruction = lifelong ignorance.

Any good instruction involves a number of different devices.  In this particular situation, I was using the floatie to balance the buoyancy from the swim diapers, that were preventing her from keeping her head up, so that she would use her arms to start moving around, instead of having a death grip on me.  The oversized life preservers were totally inappropriate for this purpose and cause undersized swimmers heads to be forced down.
