How do I get my husband involved with water activites when he doesn't swim?

Question

It's not that he doesn;t like the water but that he and his two sisters never learned how to swim! I know, crazy right? We are going to Hawaii and I really want him to enjoy himself. I totally and a water baby and want us to enjoy the trip togheter and I will be IN the water and don't want to be watching him on shore. Help!

Answer 1

maybe take him to a pool and just get him used to it. He hasn't to get over the fear sometime to enjoy himself like you say. Just ease him into the whole process and make it fun.

Answer 2

Shower,Tub,etc. Once he has seen you wet and enjoying,he should be on board. Ever been to a water park? Another option.

Answer 3

leave him alone

Answer 4

i know how he feels.I started to learn when i was a child but did not finish so i guess now that I'm an adult the fear has set in because the things that you did not care or worry about as a child you do now.so i guess that he needs to go learn to swim from a tutor.

Answer 5
