Do you hate the time change as much as I do? It takes me a week to recover. "I'm so tired. Tired of playing the game." (Blazing Saddles reference)

SPEAKING OF GAMES...

My video will show you how easy it is to motivate children to practice floating with the most straightforward games and activities which utilize these turtle eggs, a bar float, a kickboard, and this Finding Dory Dive and Catch Game. The kids don't even realize that they're learning.

Once a child has mastered breath control AKA can hold her breath underwater for at least 10 seconds without hesitation, then she's ready to learn to float.

You can have your child try some of these activities in the bathtub too. Alligator is perfect for the bathtub. Watch the video to see what I mean.

I hope you enjoy it.
