[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your kids are 12 and 10 and not good swimmers? I would think about some swimming lessons. They should really be strong swimmers by that age, just for safety reasons. [/quote]

Yes, I know. It's embarrassing. It's not that we didn't try, though. We did lessons in the summers for at least 3-4 different summers, starting at age 2. They just were super resistant and afraid. You can't force a kid to swim. We need to start lessons and just keep doing them even beyond the summer if needed, though that gets so expensive. Can anyone recommend a swim teacher who can make the lessons fun or at least tolerable for fearful older kids? I'm resigned to needing private lessons, since the group lessons don't seem to work. My kids can be very stubborn.[/quote]

There will be recommendations on the SN forum listing swim teachers who will be patient with kids.  (Your kids don't have to be SN, just someone who will coach them and not make them more resistant/fearful.)[/quote]
