Stop swimming lessons?

[Catsforeverinlove]

My daughter is 11 yrs and she can not swim.
She started learning to swim in Summer 2019 in two crash courses, then had school lessons in year 4 and also One2One lessons and recently is having another private lessons but still hates it and won’t learn.
Before the Pandemic started we got her a two Crash courses in Summer 2019 and then she started her school lessons which I believe she somehow enjoyed as she was with her friends.
At the same time we also paid for One2 One lessons each week in our local swimming pool which she didn’t learn much as the instructor refused to go into water with her and was only chatting to other instructors on side while my daughter was pottering in the pool, however I think my daughter still enjoyed it as felt not pressurised into it.
Anyway this all came to stop when Covid came and she had no lessons until this year, when we paid for private 4to1 lessons in a different private pool.
She hates these lessons.
It got so far that she cries days before the lesson is on.
The instructors are more firmer and she won’t put her head into water, she won’t do that as has a fear of it as had some incident in ther first crash course where the instructor dragged her into water by head ( she never was in the pool before this incident)
All the other kids who started these lessons with her now swim like a pro’s however she is still in the beginners stage.
I do know swimming is a very essential and a must.
We want her to learn, however she refuses.
One of the instructors said that there is not a point to force her this as if she hates it, she won’t learn and will hate it even more.
We are now thinking to stop it and let her go to go swimming with her dad weekly, to see if she enjoys it better this way?
My husband says he never had lessons, his parents took them to the pool, that how he learned to swim.

To add, she can swim with noodles and floats, however she won’t put face into water, not even splash her face.

It sounds like the fear has set in she's likely been left abit too long before starting lessons. Do you take her swimming yourself, get her going on water slides, get sinkers going threw hoops in. It's very difficult when fear sets in as it becomes a mental block.I'd suggest taking her yourself to the pool and let her mess about without the formal setting of a lesson. Ideally if she learns to swim she needs to put her face in maybe get her practising in the bath.

@Bananarama21 thank you.
I can’t swim myself for medical reasons so I cannot take her, hence she started to learn later at 7 years old.
I believe it was the incident started this where one of the instructors dragged into a deep pool, she got into a such panic state as never really was in the pool before.
Then she sort of got better with her school peers just messed around during swim lessons, I thought at that time, she definitely will learn, but this abruptly stopped with pandemic when all pools shut.
Then we were able to get any lessons until now, however it’s a different ( deeper pool) and she hates it.
DH offers to take her at weekend to the other bigger pool, however she refuses too, but when we said we will stop the lessons, she excitedly said she would go with DH.
So yes I hope this would help.
She won’t put her face into water at all, even in bath or shower.. not a drop of water.

I'd stop the lessons, try making it fun then see where she's at when she feels more comfortable again.

@Mumofboys16 yes, I’m definitely thinking to stop. She has two lessons left until half term.
