[quote=Anonymous]I think a six year old should be learning to swim without an assistive device. Our DC used float suits — kind of all body life jackets — and they provided a great deal of water familiarity and fun until they outgrew them. But the look on their face the first time they jumped into the pool non-buoyancy enhanced proved that there’s a downside too. If your DC isn’t ready to listen I think the solution is a more experienced instructor and/or a more gradual program. Teaching them to float is the first step in water survival. [/quote]
