[quote=Anonymous]Get your kid in the water as frequently as possible. But, IME (with kids who started slow but became competitive swimmer), it really has to just click with the kid. Mine were stuck at beginner levels until they got over whatever aspect that was the stumbling block (coordinated strokes, rhythmic breathing, or going in the deep end). Once the kid gets over those, they can take off pretty quickly with frequent practice. It's not all under your control though. Just because your other kids took off quickly doesn't mean this kid will. It helps to have a teacher who is really good at breaking skills down into really small bites and have the kid practice each component slowly and repeatedly.[/quote]
