My kids love to swim. We take them swimming in the winter time, to an indoor pool. They are so happy. They learned how to swim on their own. They did it themselves, which makes them so super confident. This is a new skill for them. We take them swimming a lot.
They get braver and braver each time. I love it. They are happy. They get their exercise in. They don’t even realize that they are getting it in. Working with them to become comfortable in the water was easy.
We made it a game. There were times when we would test them to see how far they could swim in one movement without taking another breath. They would see how far they were able to go and got excited. Each time we worked with them and made it fun. There was no pressure to do more. As they reached on milestone, they would want to explore another avenue. They are like little fish now. You would not be able to make the difference between them and fish. It is as if they were born to swim.
