[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you practice the treading water part? My kid's camp had a 1 minute treading water component to the test and lots of kids failed it because its just not something they do regularly - even kids who were top of the swim team. Practice. [/quote] Yes we practice - we don’t have a pool but some friends do and we go on vacation. She’s had swim lessons 2x at 6wks each. Something isn’t clicking. [/quote] OP - I was a competitive swimmer. It came very naturally to me. I introduced both of my kids to the water early. I was shocked at how long it took for them to get comfortable in the water, and while they can both swim they are not what I would consider strong or intuitive swimmers. They would def not be in the deep end at age 7. I would just give your daughter time and stick with it. My kids took lessons for years. [/quote]
