[quote=Anonymous]I don't have kids of my own but I'm around my 2 young cousins pretty consistently (one is 6 & the other just turned 5) & their grandmother & I usually take all the grandkids to the community pool several times a week in the summer. Neither one of the girls has ever had formal swim lessons but us adults will work with them at the pool & I would say they have progressed pretty good, of course they still wear their life preservers just in case, but both of them are now able to doggy paddle back & forth in the 3 foot end & both of them are able to do the dead man's float perfectly IMHO. Now we are trying to help them hold their breath underwater for longer periods each time, they have not mastered that quite yet, but I think, in time, it will come.[/quote]
