Answer 3

I teach swimming and the biggest thing I can think of to make them enjoy it is to get really excited to teach them.  They'll like you because you want to be with them and you'll make it a lot more fun if your excited, it's just natural.  Have fun and just remember that they're not going to take swimming as seriously as you do, so don't be frustrated when they just want to have fun.
