[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think kids will learn to swim when they are ready. Some kids will be ready at 4, but it doesn't really sound like he is one of them. We took it very easy and did not do swim lessons at all but spent a lot of time in the pool. Both of my kids (several years apart and totally different body types and personalities) taught themselves at age 6. It was like something clicked and they just started swimming. At that point, we did do some swim lessons to help a bit with technique and build on the doggie paddle approach. A few of the people I know whose kids took lessons very young started swimming around age 4, but many did not. I think it's a nice idea to acclimate to the water and keep it up, but I wouldn't expect progress for another year or so.[/quote] this[/quote]
