Teaching Kids to Swim at a Young Age

As a parent and grandparent I feel it is very important that all children get swim lessons at a very early age. A lot of kids are curious about water and many of them love it and are not afraid of it. Because of that, kids need to learn how to swim at a young age.

The princess spends a lot of time in the pool every year and she finally is old enough to get professional swim lessons. Last week she had her first official swim lesson and it went well. Matter of fact, she loved it!

In the photo above, she is in the middle with the one-piece swimming suit on. All of the kids had to sit on the edge of the pool until it was their turn to get into the water with the instructor. She looked darling and at first was a little scared but within minutes, she was like a “fish” in that water!

How many of you know how to swim? Did you ever get your kids or grand kids swimming lessons? How do you feel about children learning how to swim at a young age? Personally, I think ALL children should be taught how to swim by a licensed professional.

Anyway, that is my Almost Wordless Wednesday photo for this week. Enjoy!
