ms. friz, how old is your ds?
ours only last year (age 10) really began swimming, so age might be a factor. I think it is a safety concern to never learn, so you might consider continuing to try but saving it for 10+. One thing that worked for us was daily (daily) swim lessons. I think I read that here, actually: just every single day in the pool, m-f.

I signed him up for back to back sports camps at our local gym because at the end of each day it was 45 minute swim lesson. This really got him over the hump.
