I didn't really learn to swim until I was a much older child. It was the whole face in the water thing. I can't remember what the trigger was, but one day I was okay with going under and from then on became a strong swimmer. So, obviously I recommend the "all in good time" approach.

To properly mermaid swim, you really need to be under the surface of the water, not just face in the water.
