Confidence grows when children experience what they can do.
At SafeSplash, we see that happen through listening, practicing, working through difficult skills and recognizing real progress in the pool.
That idea is also at the heart of the Generation Real Project, an initiative led by our parent company, Youth Enrichment Brands. Generation Real is focused on helping families create more of the meaningful, hands-on experiences that build confidence, resilience and joy.
Its first practical resource is the Generation Real Essential Reading List, featuring eight books selected by Youth Enrichment Brands CEO Rob Price and child-development experts Erica Komisar, LCSW, and Jennifer Breheny Wallace.
The books offer guidance for four challenges many families are navigating: screens and attention, confidence and independence, achievement pressure, and meaningful connection.
You do not need to read every book. Start with the question that feels most relevant to your family and take one small step.

Swim diaper questions come up in nearly every parent orientation, so let's settle it here.
A good swim diaper should fit snugly at the legs and waist without leaving red marks, and reusable swim diapers tend to hold up better across multiple classes than disposables. Avoid anything baggy, since it won't contain accidents and can affect a baby's movement in the water.

Every swimmer's journey starts here. Before strokes, before technique, a swimmer needs to feel safe and at ease in the water.
Our curriculum is built around four stages every swimmer moves through, no matter their age or starting point: Comfortable, Capable, Confident, and Competitive.
