I am still waiting on a response about dates for the fall session, and I promise to post as soon as I find out anything. Until then, I will finally begin a series that I had tried to start a while back....
This may sounds very counterproductive to a parent who wants their child to learn, but let them play. Get them to a body of water (where you are comfortable of course), and let them splash around and just have fun.
If a child isn't comfortable in the water, he will not be successful in swim lessons. Sometimes private lessons are best for those who do have fears of the water. On the bright side, if a child is scared, you don;t need to fork out the money for lessons, if you are an able bodied swimmer. You can get your child acclimated to the water. Just go slowly and let them get used to it at their speed.
Is your child not afraid? Try to let them play in water they can barely touch in. They will be comfortable with the ground so close, but will also be challenged while playing & having fun.

Sometimes God calms the storm. At other times, he calms the sailor. And sometimes he makes us swim.
