'Infant Swimming Research Center' has instructors in all 50 states! 'ISR' teaches the 'back float' technique that Keiki Elizabeth is using to swim! https://www.infantswim.com/
We did this with my son when he was about 18 months old. I was skeptical, but after 5 weeks, they had him swimming, floating on his back, etc. The instructor even put him in the water in full clothes and he was able to put himself into a back float and call for help. Living in Florida, surrounded by ponds, canals, pools and beaches, it’s a great comfort knowing your kids are strong swimmers.
Reminds me of my youngest little sister. Only thing she was missing was scales and gills. Dad was a lifeguard before college, and all his kids swam. Period. As a Sea Scout, he swam across the Columbia outside of The Dalles. Yeah, that's one hell of a piece of water. And, WW2 came before college, also, Navy, gunnery. Thanks for everything, Dad. RIP 3/25/01 I certainly digress. Lol
There's a family that will never have to worry about their kid drowning in a pool. Good on them.
ReplyDeleteWater proofing our kids was a pretty high priority. I don't swim worth a flip, my wife was a water baby.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that was the smart thing to do. I didn't learn how to swim until I was 8 or 9, and that was after a couple drowning attempts.
DeleteYou didn't learn how to swim until you were 8 or 9 because you were too busy shooting flaming arrows out of the kitchen window.
DeleteI’d like to send that to our daughter. How can I copy it?

DeleteIt is not so much as important to trach your kids to swim, as it is to teach them to not drown, by any means possible! Good work, young 'un!!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandkids could all swim like this at that age.

ReplyDeleteTwo of the most important things to teach children; how to swim and how to use a firearm. Those two will save lives, the younger they are taught!
