I personally feel like you can start teaching basic swimming concepts at home starting from infancy to age 3. 3 years old I think is the perfect time to introduce traditional swimming lessons.
Do you guys teach your own children, or use an outside company (YMCA, local program, etc..)? What age did you start your child in swimming lessons?
I feel like learning to swim should be something required for children to learn early in school. Something offered by public schools so that children who otherwise wouldn't be able to participate in lessons due to family financial reasons can still learn the life saving skill.
My son is 6 months old he has been taken a private lesson for the past 3 months and now can float on his back wearing swimmies and and can swim by himself underwater we would never leave him unattended but I would say to enroll them as soon as you can he loves swimming!
We started lessons with the parent at 1.5-2 and our daughter was coming along, but we stopped due to other factors and she kind of went backwards. She's 4 now and more scared to put her face in the water, so I'd like to get her back in lessons as soon as possible.
