First teach her how to float on her back first. You may have to hold her at first. Also, have your cousin hold on to the sides of the pool and learn to kick. Then gradually teach her other strokes.

It's best to leave the teaching to a more confident and accomplished swimmer. Get help.

It's great that she wants you to be her teacher, but just for the sake of safety, I'd recommend that she maybe go to the Red Cross or something.
Good luck!

If you can't swim by all means don't try and show your cousin, if she gets into trouble you wont be able to help her. ask an adult around to help out.

Tell her to inhale as much air in her chest as she can and hold it..and dive in! she'll float right to the top!

Can you swim? Maybe you can just show her. Perhaps she admires how you swim, and thinks she'd like to do it your way.

13 damn girl, no wonder this country is in the toilet. Go do homework or go out and play.

I don't think you should--it could be dangerous.
