Kids & Infants Drowning Survival Skills
About Kids & Infants Drowning Survival Skills
Our aim is to equip as many young children and infants as possible( 6 months - 6 years)with the skills to survive an accidental fall into a body of water.
Kids & Infants Drowning Survival Skills Description
Being a learn to swim instructor since 2007, I have identified that current learn to swim programs teach infants water familiarization only. This does not provide a young child (0-6 years) with the adequate skills to survive in a high risk water situation
The unique learn to swim program teaches infants (6-12 months) to:
* automatically turn onto their back and float independently as long as possible (minimum 5 minutes),
* children (1-6 years) to float -swim- float until they are able to reach the side and climb out to safety,
* children begin the program in swimwear and complete when they are able to meet set requirements fully clothed,
Children are also shown many different entries simulating falling into the water.
Children generally learn the survival skills within 8 weeks, starting in swim wear and concluding the program fully clothed.
