Why Your Kids Should Learn To Swim

Near-drowning and drowning accidents have taken the lives of several children.  Teaching your kids to swim can prevent such tragedies.  Instructing and learning swimming should be a simple and fun activity.  Not all kids are as accepting of water as others.  Along each step, some children will resist learning.  Introducing swimming and life-saving activities at the youngest possible age is important to take away the fear.  

Begin by teaching yourself with the kid about CPR.  Take lessons by your local American Red Cross.  Keep instructions near the pool area as a constant reminder on how to perform CPR.  Make sure that your child is healthy before attempting to teach them how to swim.  A kid who is sick or injured can hurt themselves seriously during the learning process.  

Make sure to use sun screen with a SPF of at least 15.  An even greater SPF is suggested for light-skinned kids.  Doing so will protect them from many problems that can arise from exposure to harmful sun rays.  Put on this sun screen at least 16 minutes prior to swimming.  If you or your child is in the water for long periods of time, make sure to keep reapplying the sunscreen.  

Do not rush the process.  The journey of sharing life saving strategies and techniques with your child will not happen immediately.  You can begin teaching and exposing kids to water as early as three months of age.  This is common since infants at this age have many natural responses that protect them from potential injuries in the water.  These responses will dissipate as the child gets old so it’s important to begin swimming lessons early.  

Contact your local YMCA about the lessons that they offer.  Participating together can strengthen family bonds and equip you with the necessary skills to teach your kid about water safety.  For the best selection of in ground and above ground pools at awesome prices, visit http://nationwidepools.com/.

Not only will your child learn practical swim skills, he or she will also develop a genuine love of the water, as well as a real respect for both its joys and potential dangers. This book’s purpose is to be a companion to formal lessons. It is meant to help you and your child prepare for those lessons in several ways: To dissolve some of the mystery involved in learning to how to swim To outline the sequence of skills as they may be introduced, thereby enabling you to best aid your child in coping with any questions or concerns that may arise as new skills are introduced. To allow you to be involved in your child’s process from the beginning It was my intent to write a simple, fun and engaging story that parents and their children will want to read over and over again. During the many years I have been teaching children to swim, I have witnessed many amazing and magical experiences. Some of my more memorable and positive recollections involved children who came to me with strong fears and resistance to learning to swim.

Swim to Me $3.98 "Sometimes to be who you really are, you have to pretend you’re already who you want to be. "At two, Delores’s mother dropped her into the shallow end of a lake, trusting instinct would teach her daughter to swim. From then on, the water is where Delores Walker feels most at home. Now, nearly seventeen, she’s boarding a Greyhound bus leaving the Bronx for sunny Weeki Wachee Springs, a tacky roadside attraction in the shadow of Walt Disney’s new Florida phenomenon. With a hundred silver dollars left behind by her runaway dad, Delores is chasing her dream of being a mermaid with a group of other aquatic hopefuls–girls just as awkward and uncertain out of water as they are beautiful and graceful in it. And in this make-believe world of sequined tails and amphibious fantasy, Delores will learn some very real lessons about growing up and surviving in a world where everyone sometimes feels like a fish out of water. A heartfelt novel of coming-of-age no matter what age you are, populated with characters offbeat, outcast, and thoroughly lovable, Swim to Me is filled with the kind of wise magic that’ll have you believing in the impossible before the final page.

Swimming Lessons: Life Lessons from the Pool, from Diving in to Treading Water $3.48 At age forty-four, Penelope Niven was at a turning point in her life. In need of a change for both body and spirit, she decided to learn how to swim. While discovering the restorative effect of the water, she also began to notice that the lessons she was learning in the pool drew remarkable parallels with the lessons of life. The way in which you first get into the water, for example, is similar to trying anything new-you can jump in feet first, or dive in headfirst, but first you have to have some idea of what you’re actually getting into. From floating to treading water, forward strokes to the backstroke, Swimming Lessons combines the familiar lessons of swimming with personal anecdotes and apt observations to stirring effect. Sensible, touching, and personal, this appealing book will be invaluable to any reader facing a life change or simply looking for a little bit of inspiration. A Harvest Original
