I have taken mine (now 8yo) since he was about 6 weeks old. I tried small lessons for him too. He’d use the woggle to float into the middle of the pool and just lie there ignoring instructions. He’s worn a float vest every time I have taken him and then we had a big gap where I’ve not taken him for the last year. We went recently and I asked him to put armbands on but he refused. He could stand in the pool so he did that and I asked him every so often just to try and he finally did a scrappy doggy paddle for a metre or two - so he’s getting there! If he - the laziest boy around - can finally start then I wouldn’t worry. Just go swimming regularly and play in the water. Once he can float and paddle a bit you can move onto helping him with proper strokes.
