Singing Swim School

09/19/2026

Some of my favorite song moments happen off camera.

Singing can calm kiddos in swim lessons and in thunderstorms.

rain is falling on the window sill
Clouds are covering the night
I will hold you till the storm is over
Till you waken to the light

I changed the lyrics a little bit more so they make sense

If you can’t stand up, find your float
If you need to catch your breath, find your float
Shoulders back in the water, tip your chin up to the sky, put your arms way out wide and find your float

Eyes on or Hands On 🌊

Tonight I watched a mom at the pool with two toddlers. They were so brave, jumping in and going underwater and popping back up.

Mom was right in the water with them, watching closely and participating in their fun.

In time she took some of the floatation off the older boy and then by the end of their time together he had no flotation on.

This is a great example of helpful use of flotation while families are in the water together.

Mom was close by, in the water, playing at their level, and watching closely.

I snagged this video right after the pool closed tonight.

Shoot out to my CrossFit Fort Lauderdale friends. I miss you all!

☀️ Labor Day at Asheville Racquet Club! Cloud cover couldn’t keep families away from the slide, pizza, and DJ today 🎉

But before the fun, a safety reminder that matters:

Eyes on. Hands on. Always.

Drowning is a leading cause of death for children ages 1–4. Kids on the autism spectrum are especially drawn to water. That means getting IN the water with your kiddos, not just watching from the deck.

It’s not only about safety and skills. It’s a chance to build trust, deepen communication, and strengthen the bond between you and your child.

Stronger families. Stronger communities. Stronger world.

🎶 Song of the Week 🎶

This week’s little diddy is for the parents AND the instructors. This is a reminder we all need on repeat:

Eyes on. Hands on. Eyes on… or hands on. 🎵

Whether you’re teaching or watching from the pool deck, supervision isn’t optional. It’s constant.

And parents, this is also an invitation. Get in the water. Be part of the process. Your presence matters more than you know.

Here’s the truth: your child doesn’t know how to swim. Don’t put them in group lessons if you can’t be in the water with them.

I said what I said. 🤷🏽‍♀️

💛 And a little extra love in this one: yesterday, September 5th, was my parents’ 57th wedding anniversary. Watching what real commitment and consistency look like over decades? That’s its own kind of lesson.

Eyes on. Hands on. Always.
