How have your kids taken to swimming? We've been sending our 4 year old to swim lessons at Bonsor for a while now but she's just not taking to it. She's in the entry level preschool class (Octopus) and needs to be willing to put her face into the water and be comfortable floating in the forward position (facedown) but it's just not happening (3 rounds of classes now).

I'm considering hiring a private instructor for her - the current classes have 3 kids, are a half hour long and taught by teenagers - to help her get over the hump but I wonder if I just gotta go with the flow here.

Neither my wife nor I swim nor do we like being in the water so us taking her out to the pool or swim park isn't a real option (she also doesn't really like splash parks either).
