[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a great idea for a number of reasons. First, you'll be modeling to your daughter how it's important to face and work through your fears. She may be nervous about being in the water herself, and it would be so powerful to hear Mom say "you know what? Me too. But I trust the teacher and am just going to do a little bit at a time so that we can all have fun at the pool next summer." Second, you're soon going to be the mom of not one, but two nonswimmers. You owe it to your kids to be in a position to help keep them safe. Lifeguards are helpful, but a watchful parent within arm's reach (and by that I mean in the water) is the first line of defense. Assuming there's a lifeguard present at all -- at our swim club the baby pool is swim at your own risk. And that risk is too great if you're not willing to go splashing through the water when your toddler topples over. [/quote]
