[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you PPs. Yes, the hyperactivity has been the challenge. He will tell the instructor he has it and to let go which she complies with and he will not have the breath or skill needed to try the stroke he is attempting which is usually anything that has come to his mind. She’s right there with him and grabs up, swoops him up but he struggles with the impulse to try it on his own. And he is not yet at the mastered skill of floating.The instructor insists on the variety of these activities with each lesson and we’ve moved to the 1:1 lessons from group lessons to help as well.

I will look at the back float belt that has been shared as well. It was just a one off thought that it could maybe provide some help in getting his body oriented or atleast familiar with how swimming should feel. That weightlessness I remember is what I needed to understand and be comfortable with when I learned how to swim.

I welcome any other tips as well. My goal with the lessons has been him learning to swim but also being safe with being in the water. [/quote]
