Don't worry!
My elder son started to learn swimming last summer (9 yrs old last summer). And he is so scare of water. He will cry and shout when come pass thru his eyes when taking bath. If he can swim without help will be my wishes. It's so strange that he joined the swimming club and swam for 3 times a week last summer (for 2 months). He already swam good in breast style as well as free style.
And he was chosen to be the members of swimming club in the beginning of last acadamic year. Although everybody appreciated him incl his coach, he doesn't like to swim. But that is his story.
Anyway, nothing to be too late. Just give the children a chance.
I am very interesting your private swimming teacher, would you mind telling me the cost , the time , the place , the teacher is female or male etc...
