[quote=Anonymous]I want claim full responsibility for teaching my kids to swim but I definitely contributed and all three were able to swim the length of pool by 4. I think the key is frequent exposure to swimming. You need to be in the pool with them twice per week. We took our kids to open swim weekly starting when they were babies, more often in summer with outdoor pools and lakes. At 3 we signed them up for weekly group lessons then we go to open swim in addition another day of the week and just play around and reinforce some of the things they were learning and using some of the techniques the instructors would use. You just have to be consistent with getting them in the water frequently and they will learn quickly. [/quote]
