<p>My Mom had to learn to swim in college to graduate. She always had a fear of the water for personal reason I won’t go in to. She passed that on and I became a terrible adult swimmer.<br>
Both of my children took private lessons as very young children and both are good swimmers. If other parents out there don’t have this skill…please make sure your children do. I knew this was something I could not teach my children so I made sure to hire a good professional to do it. I taught them lots of other things, including the importance of learning to swim.</p>
