My son just went to summer camp convinced he couldn't do it. Our Scoutmaster and another Assistant Scoutmaster swam alongside him this helped his confidence and he made it 3/4 of the way his first try. They took him out of the swimming merit badge and got him into instructional swim. A good teacher taught him the side stroke and before the end of the week he went on his own and took the test and passed. He was so proud to tell me about it. How about a swim party at a leaders house or community pool to help them?
