[quote=Anonymous]One on one lessons for sure, especially because it sounds like her fear is a big issue. Other kids her age in swim lessons probably just haven’t had the exposure, but she needs someone willing to work just with her. My kids all did lessons, but it seemed to really click when they were able to swim every day to practice. Once a week wasn’t enough, but when summer hit and we could go to a pool more often, that’s when they all really got better. And they all did well in pools deep enough to swim but shallow enough they could stand up. They played around and could dive for rings and actually swim, but they knew they could always just stand if they got tired. The water wong are doing more harm than good at this point, take them away and swim with her in the shallow end. I’d say most kids I know I our Nova suburb were filling swimming by 5ish. [/quote]
