DD turned 2 in June and since things have opened up we’ve been taking her swimming every weekend which she really enjoys. She seems very happy in the water, happy splashing, fine with water getting on her face and happy to bob around in the arm bands with us next to her but not touching. She’ll go on her front and kick her legs with us holding her hands etc.
Is there a benefit to signing her up for swimming lessons at this age, or would it mainly consist of things we can do ourselves eg general comfort in the water, little bit of kicking? DH is a good swimmer but I can’t really swim beyond a few metres of doggy paddle or very poor breaststroke. I would obviously like DD to be better than me as I know swimming is an important skill, and we will definitely put her in lessons at some point but if we take her regularly anyway is there a benefit to proper lessons at this age?
