My daughter will be 3 next month, and I wanna know if she’s old enough to go for swimming lessons. We’ve got a swimming pool and the safety net is not always on (aspecially on weekends) I’m scared to death that she will fall in, as it only takes a second. She fell in the swimming pool when she was only 1 year old but thank heavens I was around to get her out. But I’ll never forget that day, and the fear on her little face when I pulled her out of the water.
I never want that to happen again, and if it does, I want to rest assure that she’ll be able to swim, or at least help herself to the side. I’d also appreciate any advice how to teach her to swim!
