never have to swim to save their lives, but who knows what will happen? teaching them to swim will give you the peace of mind to know they can save themselves in an emergency.

swimming “lessons” can start at home with fun in the bathtub or wading pool. encourage even the youngest of kids to blow bubbles so they learn what it feels like to have their faces in the water.
