(Super Short Video) How Do You Know When Your Baby Is Ready to Go Underwater?

Published: Tue, 07/28/20

A parent wrote in with the following question:

"When can I submerge my baby in water? How will I know he's ready?"

- Interested parent

First, you will condition your baby to hold his breath. This process takes a few weeks of regular practice.

You will know when your baby is holding his breath because he will close his eyes on the verbal command, "name, ready, go." When he closes his eyes, that means he's holding his breath.

Watch the video to see a fully conditioned baby respond to this verbal cue.

Your baby will be ready for submersions when he can hold his breath on command for 5 seconds.

Check out the free course entitled, How to Prepare Your Baby for Swim Lessons 0 to 8 Months. You'll get to see the full video tutorial on conditioning your baby to hold their breath. Other lessons in the course include teaching your baby to back float and encouraging independence in your little one.

Best wishes for now,
