I have a 6...almost 7 year old daughter that I would like to teach to swim...problem is I don't know the first thing about teaching swimming and I cannot afford to pay for lessons. She has had one day getting used to paddling around with floaties and dunking her head under water. Any tips out there or a game plan I should follow?

Learning to swim would be a good idea for you to consider for your daughter. My daughter learned how to swim last summer any she really enjoyed it. Once she learn to swim when you go on vacations and stary at Hotels not only will you enjoy staying there but they also have an area were children and yourself can go swimming, believe me your daughter would enjoy the trip even more. Consider different resources.
