[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with poster who said that infants and toddlers aren't going to learn to swim at this young of an age, but there are other benefits including being comfortable with water and some basic water safety skills that could help in the pool at a young age.

We started our daughter in swim around five months and now she is 2.5. While she doesn't know how to swim, she understands things like turning over onto her back if she falls into the water and knowing how to climb out of the pool.

We go to Goldfish Swim School which is a chain with multiple locations in the area. Big Blue is also one that people seem to like. They all follow the same-ish routines, so pick one where the class availability works for your schedule with naps and what not. We go once a week and have fit in a second lesson now and again. I once tried to push it with three lessons a week to use up some extra credits, and by the third lesson of the week, my kid was over it and didn't want to do the lesson. At 2, you probably don't need to go into the water with your child anymore. [/quote]

My daughter was swimming from one end of our pool to the other at 2 1/2. It was pretty unique though, she was like a circus animal every time we went to the public pool. We did ISR, definitely recommend. [/quote]
