How Quickly Can You Teach a Child To Swim?

How fast can you teach a child to swim? Let me start by asking you these three questions: How fast does a child learn to walk? How fast does a child learn to talk? How quickly does a child learn to read?

Learning to swim is really not much different. It is a process, not an event. Can you remember when you were teaching your child how to walk or talk? Do you remember how encouraging and how excitable you were as your child made even baby steps of progress? I believe it's important that you give the same unconditional support and patience when your child is learning to swim. With that said, there are a variety of things to account for when determining how quickly you can teach a child to swim.
