Water Safe Swim, established since 2001 is a comprehensive water safety swim program for infants and toddlers ages 6 months old – 5 years old. Drowning remains the leading cause of accidental death in children under 4 years old. To be most effective in water safety, the more layers (barriers) between a child and thewater will ensure the greatest chance at safety. Water Safe Swim lessons are a way to ‘skill the child’ so that when or if a child finds their way to water alone and all other layers have broken down, the child will have the skills to solve the aquatic problem successfully!
WATER SAFE SWIM PROGRAM INFO + SKILLS
Water Safe Swim skills are taught in attending a complete session (typically 4 weeks) consisting of one-on-one, DAILY lessons, 10 min or less, 4 days (Monday – Thursday) of each week.
BACK FLOAT SKILL: 6 mo – 17 mos
SWIM with FLOAT SKILL: 18 mos and up
SWIM with BREATHING SKILL: 4 and 5 years olds
Infants 6 mo – 17 mo will learn a water safe back float skill.
Toddlers and children ages 18 mo – 5 years old will learn a sequenced combination of a swim with float or breathing and then return to a swim.
Students are trained to swim face down in the water, holding their breath, then roll over to a back float to rest and breathe and then return to a face down swim. Some children 4-5 years old might be taught to pick their head up to breathe instead of rolling over to a back float. This all depends on the individual child. The individuality of what Miss Julie offers through her Water Safe Swim program is one of the reasons these water safety skills are so effective.
PARENTS your swimmer will not be the only one learning during this process. You will be educated along the way with water safety information and suggestions for your best chances at finding success in the water. The more children skilled and families educated…the safer our community family is. Thank you for being part of the solution and saving lives!
