To learn more about keeping your child safe!

What is swimming? When we tell children they are swimming, what are they actually doing? Floating on a float, standing in the water, sitting on the step, bobbing in the water, dunking their head, jumping in with a floatation device….

Is that really swimming?

We are using this term too loosely and children are believing us.

Is it any wonder they are sneaking back to the water when we or their flotation devices aren’t with them when we have convinced them that they can “swim” when they really can’t?

What should we tell them instead?

“Look at you, playing in the water! Playing in water is fun but don’t go there alone. Always wait for mommy or daddy to go with you.”

“Mommy/Daddy is helping you stay up in the water because you haven’t learned how to do that alone yet.”

“We are going to go to swim lessons so you can learn how to swim and be safe.”

“You are doing a great job learning how to hold your breath when you go under water. This will help you when you learn to swim.”
