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
