[quote=Anonymous]My kids have done Goldfish intermittently for a few years... 8 yo is a decent swimmer now, 5 yo still learning but very enthusiastic but when we play in the pool she wants to show off how far she can swim, slowly increasing distance between parent and pool wall, although she's basically diving/gliding more than swimming at this point. But the comfort and enthusiasm for being in the water is there, the rest will follow with time. 8 yo can probably do a few 10 yard laps or so, and tread water for like 30 seconds... key pre-reqs for him to be able to do and enjoy things like jumping off the diving board at most pools (need to be able to swim unassisted afterwards to get yourself out).[/quote]
