[quote=Anonymous]My kid also took many years of lessons to no avail. I then realized we will get nowhere until the kid is comfortable floating on her back in the water. We stopped paying for lessons and took her to the pool every weekend, and then during the summer we were able to go daily. This helped but she was still afraid of putting her head in the water because of water getting in her nose. At that point, my DH decided he had to be very tough about it—he’d had enough. Being tough (like a drill sergeant) is not for everybody, but it worked for us. And now she enjoys swimming.[/quote]
