My kids haven't been around water that much, and they're ages 6 and 8, and they're both terrified of the water. We'll be enrolling them in swim lessons this summer, but ugh. I wish I had done it sooner. Good for you for being safe and proactive.

I guess my parents didn't think it was important because we lived around no water aside from the Red River (and no one swam in that nasty thing back in the day lol). Wasn't until I was a teenager and my bff had a pool and I was swimming every day. Definitely good to do it at a young age!! Because I still am like ehhh when it comes to water.Samantha https://www.blogger.com/profile/08996652283171370224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312430632143777189.post-62914505513873146952017-06-07T10:04:37.272-04:002017-06-07T10:04:37.272-04:00Water safety is something I think so HIGHLY of, no...Water safety is something I think so HIGHLY of, not just for the parent's piece of mind but also for the child.

While she loved the water she wasn't a strong swimmer until she had her lessons.
