Yep, my 4-year old 'swims' as well as any 4-year old can, but my 9-year old had a bad scare a while back in the water and won't put her head under despite many m onths of swimming lessons. Am putting her in private lessons from tomorrow, but am beginning to wonder if maybe our 2 month trip to Bali planned for Sept/Oct should maybe be postponed until she's a proficient swimmer? I had to rescue her fully clothed from the bottom of a swimming pool a year back, and am beginning to feel nervous about spending a few months on an island where water in some form or another is everywhere. My biggest nightmare is that both of my kids fall in a pool or pond or some such and I have to try to rescue both of them at the same time.
Should I be worried??
