[quote=Anonymous]Get rid of water wings immediately! Should have thrown them away 4 years ago! Just introduce her to the shallow end of the pool, give her a noodle, and let her stay there until she is ready to put her head in and glide. Even if she is terrified, there is zero reason to keep up the water wings, they are harming her. Just let her stay as shallow as she wants until she is comfortable with other devices. My oldest was swimming full laps by age 5. We did group and 1-1 lessons, but he picked it up fast. Diving board and deep end at age 6. My youngest was a little more cautious but could swim unassisted by 6. 9 is way way way too old.[/quote]
