I go with their mum a couple of times a week to our local pool, and they are progressing well!! My tips are ... 1) Show confidence 2) make learning fun 3) Get them used to putting their heads underwater first 4) use arm bands fully inflated when first learning, gradually deflating them as the child gets more confident 5)Let them do things at their own pace, being patient with them!Deborah Swainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340560222446184520.post-3307094690387236112017-10-15T14:12:43.898+01:002017-10-15T14:12:43.898+01:00Start from a very early age .
