I mean themselves, rather than sending them on a course or doing it through school?
Was talking to my friend today, and she is desperate to get her almost 4yo ds onto a swim course as they go on lots of beach holidays and she wants him learn how to swim.
All courses (catering for under 5s) were fully booked, which makes me think it's v. popular.
I learnt to swim in the sea, on holiday, with my parents. I remember first holidays were always with those arm floats, and then one year I wanted to do it so they helped me and by the end of the holiday I was swimming. Not great, but swimming.
Dsis learnt same way, and then went on to do lots of swimming courses as she loved it.
So, was just wondering really, has anyone taught their own kids to swim, or is planning to do it themselves?

Does anyone actually teach their dc to swim any more?
