Watching my kids take swim lessons I am super impressed how they KNOW how to teach. They have a slow steady progression of techniques that build on eachother. Same with gymnastics. Build strength, technique and confidence. No need to terrify kids.

In a similar vein, the social emotional learning they are teaching kids is great.

I love that boomers will post this and say everyone younger than them is weak, but then they will call the cops if there are kids outside having fun.

Which is weird because they were the same ones that locked us outside until the streets came on.

I got lessons as soon as feasible due to this. My grandpa did this to my mom and now even in her 60s she can't go past her waist without visibly panicking.

My dad did the same. I was 5 and it wss a 12ft deep pool. I chose to swim, I do wonder would he had jump in if I hadn't dog paddle my way out of the pool. I think he let me drown.
Its a traumatizing experience for a kid. They wonder why we are all fucked up and filled with anxiety. Shit like this didn't help.

I love how genx think shit like this is a flex. It’s not. It’s called child abuse.

My parents are from the 60s (early gen x)....and they took me to swimming lessons. Like sane adults.

The more people I meet, the more I realize that I'm lucky to have my parents.
