When I joined their family, step-daughter couldn't swim at all, covid lockdown at the time she should have learn, then her parent divorce, add the time for me to have the legitimacy to say that Kids under my watch need to know how to swim and there we are.

Paid her a first batch of private course, then tried a (cheaper and better organised) group course but she was like twice as old as other kids so she didn't joined. Brought her a few times over the spring, and need to do-it more often, but not sure what we can do to make her move forward

At her current level, she gained a lot of confidence in water (and is actually asking to go swimming which is a big win), can float, glide, she still can't synchronize breathing when swimming so she swims like 5m and then stop to breathe (which works in the training pool, but she isn't ready for a whole length).

I am a bit worried that time is running out, she is already 11, soon, she may not be comfortable in the training pool with an adult near her, or even simply not comfortable in swimsuit.

What kind of exercice can make-her progress, while I try to find back the phone number of her previous coach, may-be he'll give some course over summer

looking at my family, always knew wife with glasses and earring, 2 years ago she was the only one in fmaily with these accessories. Then we've done a family trip to the piercing parlour. 2 Years latter, teen/pre-teen kid wear glasses, middle-aged husband wear glasses, and middle aged wife who also got an extra piercing got her vision worse.

I therefore have a clear experimental evidence that piercing your ear make you wear glasses. before submitting my paper to pubmed, I need some theoretical explanation :)

Another concern is that now teen kid wants their nose pierced, will it damage their vision further or do other damage ?
