[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never put a floaty on my kids. I was always in the water an arm length away. We did lots of diving toys to practice going under. It was definitely easier for me because my kids are 5 years apart and we went to the pool everyday. For your kids, I’d try to make it as much like play as possible and not feel like lessons. [/quote] This was basically my daughter. She’s 5 now. We didn’t go this often but we go a lot. Diving off the side of the pool to fish for toys at the bottom helped a ton. She learned by watching others. She learned to dive today by watching kids dive off the diving board. We haven’t done lessons so she’s mostly taught herself. She absolutely loves it and it’s really fun to go to the pool with her. [/quote]
