[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swimming underwater isn't swimming, y'all. It's playing. And it doesn't make kids able to support themselves to breathe if they get into trouble. Underwater "swimmers" often dog-paddle, gasp, and sink if they try to tread water. Then they can't take in enough air calmly enough to go back underwater and propel themselves where they need to go.[/quote] I am the parent of one of the early swimmers, yes they swam underwater at first, but by their third birthday they could surface take a breath and keep going across the pool. It was definitely swimming. [/quote]
