[quote=Anonymous]I think early swimming is a survival skill and prioritized starting with swim classes starting at six months. These early classes focused on being comfortable in the water. Singing, dancing, dumping cups of water on their heads, collecting balls, etc. Lots of safe lake and ocean exposure (life jacket, parent in water), etc. Summer swim and club swimming grew out of that, but my parents growing up didn’t do any of that, just threw me in the pool, and informal swim lessons after that. I then was on high school swim and trained as a lifeguard which I think is an essential skill that provides job skills for later in life - so we will mandate and pay for this when kids are teens.
