Fun trips to the swimming pool this spring and summer can turn deadly for your child in just a few short minutes. It doesn\u2019t take long to drown. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, the CDC, claims that drowning is the number one cause in death for children 4 years old and younger. That\u2019s why teaching a toddler to swim is so important.<\/p>\n

If your child is at least 6-months old, they should be taught to at least to float on their back. The child can cry and scream in this position to let others know that something may not be right. Learning to swim can follow as the child grows older.<\/p>\n

A child that is only 6-months old can be taught to float on their back in a swimming pool. However, the child can use this same skill in a bathtub or any pool of water. It is a life-saving skill that the child can maintain for a long time!<\/p>\n

If you are a parent watching your infant learning to float, you will probably get shocked and a bit nervous as your child learns this new skill. It is not at all unusual to have your child wine and cry. Those tears are from separation anxiety. Stay calm!<\/p>\n

Everything is going to be fine. It is when your child is in water and you don\u2019t hear them that you should get nervous. In these lessons, the instructor will always be close by and ready to help.<\/p>\n

Eventually, as your child grows older, they will be taught to swim-float and swim again. They will be taught to make their way to the edge of the pool. All of these things are life-saving skills.<\/p>\n

Find Your Way to Life Saver Survival Swim School, LLC<\/h3>\n

Life Saver Survival Swim School<\/strong><\/a> has been teaching these life-saving skills to toddlers and young children for nearly 15 years now. They have taught thousands of children how to survive if they ever find themselves in a pool of water.<\/p>\n

The school is owned by Bonnie<\/strong> who is herself a mother of three. She learned to teach children these skills because she nearly lost a child<\/a> early in her marriage. That was before she started teaching these skills to children.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, give Bonnie<\/strong> a telephone call. She can be reached by dialing (832) 366-3008<\/strong><\/a>. Or, if you had rather, you can directly email her<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
