And we love them for it! 💛
Signing up for swim lessons can feel like a LOT. But post-swim session, even our most skeptical swim parents tell us this was the best decision they could’ve made for their child’s water safety.

DO NOT BLOW BUBBLES!!!
Blowing bubbles is a dangerous habit that teaches infant and children to exhale completely and sink faster. Instead try #1 and "Catch a bubble"
Thanks Mae Ann for the fun activities!

Bathtub Training: 5 Drills Parents Can Do at Home
Does the sound of the bath faucet running send your toddler running for the hills? Or maybe your little one loves the water but turns into a tiny, clingy koala the second a drop touches their face?

Learning strokes is not the point of survival swimming lessons.
Swim skills your toddler won’t use in real life?
🚫 Freestyle
🚫 Fancy backstroke
🚫 Kicking across the pool (by themselves) on a kickboard. 💁
The skills they will use? 👇
✅ Holding their breath when they hit the water
✅ Finding the surface and floating, no matter HOW they fall in
✅ Calling for help
✅ Conserving energy while swimming, even in deep water
✅ Knowing how to get that next breath of air
✅ Doing it all without getting distracted by clothes, water depth, or the unexpected!
❌ Infants and toddlers don’t need to learn strokes before they’re even old enough to coordinate them.
✅ They need skills that match their development and actually keep them safe now!
They’ve got years to perfect freestyle 😉—let’s make sure they have what they need first.
