I wish swimming were the answer, but it was the swim instructor who observed on her own that DS was "over-thinking things." He sinks like a stone because he can't relax, and he won't put his face in the water for fear of getting water in his nose and water in his goggles. The swim instructor actually gave him math problems in the pool as a way to distract him.
And I even paid the big bucks for private lessons.
I love the water but have always had many of the same hang ups as DS, so I don't swim well and feel pretty strongly about getting him through this (ditto for other sports), but that's where people start to tell me that I need to make sure I'm thinking of him and not myself.
I suppose we could take lessons together, but that won't work for everything.
