[quote=Anonymous]OP, kids should learn to swim. For safety, for socialization, for exercise or future sports considerations. Even if you hate the pool and the beach. Because, you know, it's not really all about you and your preferences any more.

Fwiw, I totally get hating the pool; I would seriously never ever ever go without kids. But we joined a neighborhood pool when my oldest was 1yo, and it is the Best.Thing.Ever. In one package, my kids get fresh air, exercise, fun, socializing and a sense of community. My oldest especially benefits, since he is a little geeky and also as a tween is all too happy to to live for his electronics. But at the pool, he's got a million friends, and there's always a game to join.

Luckily we've just hit the point where my youngest (6yo) is a strong enough swimmer that I don't feel compelled to get in with him I still hate the pool; I bring my laptop and sit in the shade, or chat with neighbors, most of whom I don't see much elsewhere because of work and other obligations. It's really the best part of my summer, despite the fact that I still hate swimming![/quote]
