Tips on Encouraging 8-Month Old to Crawl

My 8 mo. has not shown much progression in the crawling department. When he is on his tummy he only lasts a few minutes then he either fusses and gets upset until we rescue him or he flips over on his back. He is really proud of himself when he does that, he almost has a look of, "ha ha, you can't make me be on my tummy." Anyway, I am not to worried about it, but my hubby is concerned. I tell him he will crawl when he is ready or not at all. Any advice on activities I can do to encourage him to crawl or scoot, would be great.

Are Swim Classes Worth It? If Not, How Do You Teach a Kid to Swim?

My 4 year old doesn't know how to swim yet and I'd like him to learn this summer. I initially thought I would enroll him in swimming classes but now that I know they're $20/lesson on average, I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it. I don't know the first thing to teaching a kid how to swim though. How did your kids learn and how long did it take them? Tips on how to teach? Thanks!
