My son just turned 5 yrs old yesterday and as a birthday gift 😂 we started learning freestyle. He wants to catch up to big brother!

The back float is often the hardest skill to master but once they have it … it’s amazing 🤩. This is the best way for young children to breathe and rest while swimming.

Do not rely on just one or two layers, your child’s life depends on it! Survival swim lessons are the LAST layer of protection. Because no child is drown-proof make sure to always supervise (no phones as full attention is needed), pool fence, alarms on doors, sensor alarms inside the pool, learn CPR too! Clear boundaries and rules for all children entering the pool area. Finally, talk to your children about the risks of entering a body of water unattended or without the proper skills.

It’s not always fun & play BUT once a child starts feeling comfortable they can learn a lot through play alone!

We have kids moving onto maintenance & progression lessons 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Once basic survival skills are acquired & swimmer can self-rescue kids can move onto maintenance or progression lessons. What’s the difference? It all depends on their developmental level and willingness to learn new skills. Younger kids like toddlers are usually in maintenance for one season & will be ready for progression the following season after the complete their refresher session. Older kids like preschoolers & elementary age children can move to progression lessons to learn how to swim on their back including backstroke & freestyle technique!

Knowing what to do in a moment of panic is what we focus on once basic skills are acquired. Swimming has to be more than just blowing bubbles. Kids need to learn boundaries, their strengths & weaknesses, what to do in a specific situation, what not do around water, etc So whatever swim lessons you choose make sure they work on these as well as how much fun the pool can be!

Every year, we hear about people drowning after trying to save someone else who was in trouble in the water.

Here is what happens:

The person who is attempting a rescue can swim, so they think they can save the drowning person. What they don't know, until it's too late, is that when someone is actively struggling to reach the surface for air, they go into fight or flight mode, and if something or someone is near them, they will grab onto them and try to pull up, in a desperate attempt to get air.

What ends up happening? Both people drown.

That's why when lifeguards rescue, they do so using a device between them and the victim or using a special hold from behind that will prevent the victim from pulling them under the water too.

When we go into schools, we teach the kids never to go in the water and try to rescue their friends by swimming to them and helping them out of the water with their arms.

Instead, we teach them to "Reach or Throw, Don't Go":

1) Yell for help
2) Find something that you can reach the victim with, if you are close enough. Take that thing-a pool noodle, pole, branch, or rope, and go to the edge of the water. Lie on your belly to prevent you from being pulled into the water while attempting to help. Then reach the object to the person and pull them in.
3) If there is nothing that can reach them, find something that floats (a lifebuoy, life jacket, even an emptied out ice chest will work) and throw it to them.
4) Find an adult to help or call 911.

We encourage you to teach your kids to do this. It is human instinct to try to go straight to the person in trouble. But we are not trained to do this safely, so don't try it!

Make sure your whole family knows what to do if they were ever to see someone in trouble in the water.

Teach them "Reach or Throw, but don't Go"!
