[quote=Anonymous]It takes some regular time in the pool. Do 15 minutes of practice without, then allow them. Next day 15 mins then use them. Slowly stretch 15-30. Have fun. Stay shallow. It will take some time, but mostly they have to learn to swim. Mind you - it’s one thing to learn basics and entirely another to really learn to swim. I strongly recommend the summer swim team things at local pools. They won’t make your kid a real competitive swimmer, but they will make your kid into a good safe swimmer who you don’t have to worry about too much around water. Add a beginner life saving course when they hit 14/15 and they will get the basics down. And, get cpr certified. [/quote]
