| Re: Taking the plunge Have you tried the beach? I don't have access to a pool so we've taught our girl to swim at the beach. The beach is good because of the gradual depth. Lots of patience and encouragement is definitely the key. I've even floated treats/kibbles so she has to swim out to get them. Now she swims out like nobody's business. She even dives with her whole head under the water for up to 5 to 10 seconds.... crazy!
P.S. Getting the whole family in the water is a big lure as well. |
