[quote=Anonymous]I used to teach private swim lessons, and this is normal for a lot of kids. Progress can be really slow because no teacher should ever force the issue especially with children who are fearful, that can really make the situation worse! Sometimes private is the way to go, and sometimes not- I always was amazed at the successes caused by the "peer pressure" in group lessons. It is all about comfort so watching others can be helpful. I suggest a lot of no pressure time in the water with you or siblings and friends. I always started a lesson with children who seemed anxious with the first and only rules- have fun and be safe! Good Luck to all on this one, It can take some time- but when you see a child who has struggled with this and the pride it gives them- it is so worth it! [/quote]
