My daughter is 4 years old and absolutely hates to get water in her ears and eyes in the bath tub and in the public swimming pool. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting her over this fear as I would like to enroll her again in swim classes?

Are you taking the lessons with her? Sometimes it helps to have someone she trusts in the water with her. Just get in and play, splash around. Get a glass and pretend to wash each others hair. You can pour water over her head and ears and she can do the same to you. Make it a game..........not lessons with a stranger until she is comfortable.
Also what is the temp of the water? If its really cold......then I dont blame her I wouldnt want to get in either.

get some goggles for the bath and pool. My daughter had to go thru the first stage of swim lessons 4 times before she got over part of her fear. didn't learn how to swim to well from there though. she learned how to swim by being in the family's pool with cousins.
