Since I have three kids, I have been looking for ways to help all three of them Improve Swimming competence so that when we travel to Maine for vacation, we will be able to relax a little bit more.  in the past, we have kept all three of them on a pretty tight schedule of going to the beach at the lake where we stay.  I know that if they were all just a little bit more confident in their swimming, there would be a lot less complaining and a lot more swimming.  The whole reason we go to this amazing place every year is so that we can really enjoy the water and the sun.
