Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.
If your kids are taking a break from swimming lessons over the holidays, here are some tips to keep up their skills. All of which can be done in the bathtub:
Kicking is ideal in the tub. It promotes straighter legs and a smaller kick.
Floating on the front and the back. Even in shallow water, they can feel their own buoyancy.
Breath control AKA holding their breath and putting their face in the water.
Or conditioning them to hold their breath. Say, "your child's name, ready, go" wait 1 second then pour water over their head. Appropriate for newborns and older. Do this about 5-10 times (stop when they start to fuss) or for 3-years+ have them do it themselves.
See you in 2019!
Love the water but fence it in,
