Spring is here and you have not had time to go to the pool all winter! Your child thinks that she has forgotten everything he learned but he really hasn't. Just like in school, everything has to be retaught over and over. Start from the beginning. Don't give your child a feeling of inadequacy or let her get scared because she has lost the confidence she had last year.
Each child will learn at her own pace, gently lead her to
overcome fears while understanding her feelings. Keep eye contact with the child when you give directions and
use a soothing voice.
And don’t let the child forget during the year again. Practice in the tub or try to go to an indoor pool or a Jacuzzi once a
month. Then your child will look forward to swimming all year long!
