[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty dangerous to have a 5 year old who can't swim. [/quote] No, it's pretty dangerous to have a 5 year old whose parents think that swimming skills are protective. Those are the parents who do risky things like reducing supervision.[/quote] I think both are dangerous. They need to swim as soon as possible in case they find themselves in a situation where they need it, and at the same time you as the parent must continue to be vigilant. This is one area (like motor vehicle safety) where parental freakouts about safety is warranted.[/quote]
