[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem with teaching a kid under 3 is their willingness/readiness to listen and do as they are asked for 30 mins. My 2.5 year old is pretty easy going, goes to daycare, and does a 30 min dance class she just started on Saturdays. I do not think she is ready to get in the pool with another adult and follow directions learn actual swimming. I take her swimming now twice a month and she is comfortable in the water, goes, under, blows bubbles, will jump in if i catch her etc. I am going to wait until she is 3 and understands more before I start proper lessons.[/quote] My DD was two when she learned to doggie paddle. I agree that ti's too young to learn complicated strokes but it isn't too young to learn how to propel yourself forward in the water. That is what DD learned in private swimming lessons.[/quote]
