CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yes. We started our son at age 3.
He has done wel and is now a fairly competent swimmer at age 5.
We have a pool at home. His brother - age 2 will probably start getting water wise this summer (Sept) at age 2 1/2.

We're not doing any formal lessons, though I do try to help my daughter learn how to swim. She fell into the swimming pool after I told her to stay away from the edge, and I had to jump in after her. Yeah, I can see the value of knowing how to keep water out of one's lungs. lol I know that I had the most fun and the easiest learning experience though when I was young and we were just playing in the pool. We didn't even know that we were learning at the time. It's amazing how that works. lol

Yes, my children both started at age 3. My oldest is 7.5 and quite and accomplished swimmer. My primary reason was to give them the opportunity to spend time with a "class" and learn to take instruction from a teacher. Also, I think it boosts their self-confidence to learn a skill and find they can succeed. Swimming is a good skill for little children, IMO, because it wears them out!! LOL.
