Has he been watching Swallows & Amazons? -- nm - LMS Jul 28, 08:20 2
- Neither one of us has seen that! -- nm - kelly Jul 28, 08:21 1
  - It's more about kids sailing than rowing, but it might give inspiration. I think the youngest in that is 7 though. -- nm - LMS Jul 28, 08:30
are there other water sports though? Sailing? canoeing? something? - Andie Jul 28, 08:09 4
- For a 5 year old? I'm not sure, but I wouldn't let him do any of those anyway until he learns to swim. - kelly Jul 28, 08:10 3
  - The Mayo Clinic site says that at age six is when they usually just start to do more organized sports. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 28, 08:14
  - ah, yeah, if he isn't comfortable swimming, then no, of course not. -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 08:11 1
    - He will now stick his face/head in the water, but only with goggles on. If goggles are off - no deal. Heh. -- nm - kelly Jul 28, 08:13
