Diving for toys is one of the many rewards for children learning to swim. Having time to play encourages children to explore, strengthen spatial awareness and depth perception while learning. 💜

Building trust and self confidence during swim lessons! 💜

This day we accomplished 2 major milestones 🧜‍♀️

1️⃣ She was willing and excited to push off the steps, which requires trust in the person she’s gliding to. Previously, we spent time getting comfortable on the steps with no pressure to submerge.

2️⃣ She independently submerged to reach for the toys at the bottom of the step. Floating toys allow children to get comfortable reaching and throwing while on the surface. Diving toys like rings allow children to develop depth perception, breath control and core strength while having fun.

This process doesn’t happen immediately. Building trust takes time and consistency. The foundation to becoming an efficient and secure swimmer is self confidence, strength and stability.

Winter is the perfect time to use the bathtub to introduce your baby to the water. There are many benefits to starting the swim journey early in the bathtub! 🛁
