[quote=Anonymous]The only thing that worked for my younger kid was to hire the neighborhood lifeguard / swim coach for a couple lessons a week. For the first week or two they just played in the water, no pressure. By then my kid adored the teen and would do anything she asked. So when she started subtly directing him to things that build swimming skills - blowing bubbles, pushing off from the wall to glide to her, etc - he happily complied. She got him to do all kinds of things that he stubbornly refused to do for DH or me.[/quote]
