DD1 (7) is so close to learning to swim, but, as we already knew, her teacher's just informed us that she just won't learn to swim enough to move up to the next level if she can't get her face in the water properly.
This is something htat has been an issue for years now. She's way better than she was, but she says she hates the feeling of the water going in her eyes, and she says the goggles don't work. And she says she can only do it if she's holding her nose.
Any ideas? I'm thinking of getting her a nose clip, but what else can I do? I'm reluctant to keep spending money on lessons until she's reliably putting her head under water, but she wants so badly to learn to swim, and join a swimming club.
