Even the most competent swimmer needs a break from swimming, but they may still want to be in the pool having fun. Swimming takes a lot of hard work and energy, after all! And as a parent/caregiver, you may need a break from holding your child in the water, too.

Consider using a pool float your child can lay or sit on top of so their legs do not dangle down in the vertical (aka the drowning) position. Mesh bottom rafts allow your child to still feel wet in the water while staying on top of the raft.

** Remember to always use caution when pool floats are in the pool. **
🔹Adult supervision is vital, especially to watch that swimmers don't get stuck underneath of the floats.
🔹Stay in the pool within arms length of your non swimmers.
🔹Remove pool floats from the pool when they’re not in use.

Posts like these will always break my heart. Please please please educate yourself & others on the layers of protection to prevent childhood drowning.

We are heartbroken by the devastating loss of 71 children to drowning in Florida so far this year. Each of these precious lives taken far too soon is a painful reminder of the importance of water safety, supervision, and education. Our thoughts and prayers are with every one these families.

We also want to point out that July has already had 9 drownings. 2 were in the care of a grandparent, 1 found their way into a neighbor's pool, THREE were at Air B&B's and 1 was an autistic child in a pond.

Please please please do not think it can't happen to you. One of the worst things I hear is "It won't happen to me, I watch my child". I cringe every time I hear that! We are human and can not watch our child 24/7 so you need to make sure ALL Layers of Protection are in place to avoid this preventable tragedy.

1 - Effective Adult Supervision - NEVER leave a child alone in or near water. Designate a water watcher when swimming.
2 - Doors/Windows - locked and alarmed at ALL times
3 - REMOVE Pet doors! If you are visiting a home with one then you need to make sure it is locked!
4 - FENCE THAT POOL - No excuses. If you have a home with a pool and young children you MUST have a fence.
5 - Self-Rescue swim lessons. Please do your research and make sure your instructor is certified in survival lessons and insured. You can find a certified ISR instructor at infantswim.com
6 - Learn CPR

I’m hoping everyone has a happy & safe 4th of July!

Happy (almost) 4th of July! ❤️🎇

Please be safe this holiday, especially if you will be out of your element and water is accessible. Your little ones are most at risk when everyone is watching the pool, and when swim time is over and there is the potential for them to quietly slip back to the water unnoticed.

It’s a BEAUTIFUL morning to teach children how to self-rescue 💦☀️

Drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4, but it’s preventable with layers of protection; ISR being one of them! 🎉
