My daughter (7) has recently started private swim lessons and she has severe anxiety about doing certain things in the water, specifically at this point, jumping in (while also wearing a tube and holding one hand of the instructor), swimming without any flotation device on (he tried today with a hand on top and bottom of her torso), and pushing off the steps to swim to his hands. The free swimming is in 4 ft water and he showed her that she can stand (on her toes). She will just stand in the water with one hand on the railing for security, she was about to jump in today and then just sat down). I am getting frustrated because although this is expected for her type of personality, the swim time is valuable, expensive, and above all, I just want to know how I can help her in getting over this mental block and fear of the water.
