Children are usually afraid to swim due to their fear of water.

How to prevent your child from being afraid of water
Practice water time at home.

Wear a swimming cap for your baby to prevent water from getting into her ears.
Start with the bath, use toys and try teaching your child to dive and hold his breath in the bath.
The public pool can then be used. As a rule, the baby can be sent to a special group to learn swimming.
Choose small groups or private lessons.
If your child is very afraid of being left without his mother, try to find out if you can also attend the classes.
Therefore, the baby will be much more comfortable and safer.
