They eventually progressed to a 3-5 times a week training by the time they get to 6 years old. <br><br>Water should be fun for most kids, but there are some exceptions like my second child who had a big fear of water. From ages 3-5, she would not want to venture into the big pool and would just stay in the kiddie pool. I simply let her be and after about two years, she eventually decided that there is nothing scary about it and volunteered to jump in by herself. I do not believe in letting the kid cry it out. I adjust my expectations and let them be comfortable to want to try it out.<br><br>For pool safety, it is always best that a responsible adult stay and supervise the child at all times. Never be too confident to leave the child alone even if there are floaters being used.<br><br>I hope your child will learn to love the water! :)The Phenomenal Womanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13473918805848282327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789322306184290630.post-7980701416572943162011-07-03T15:05:03.893+08:002011-07-03T15:05:03.893+08:00Question from a first-time mom: at what age did yo...Question from a first-time mom: at what age did you let your kids try out the pool/beach? I already got my son his first swimming attire, but I'm still hesitant to actually go swimming with him. Any suggestions too for pool baby safety?MrsKatBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789322306184290630.post-66472223119203683202011-05-31T21:13:27.915+08:002011-05-31T21:13:27.915+08:00Impressive! look at the butterfly stroke!
