Teaching An Infant To Swim
by Virginia Hunt Newman
THERE IS NO EXCUSE.
Children and infant drowning is horrific and preventable. Before 2 years old, babies have no fear, holding their breath naturally when submerged. Natural bouyancy brings them to the top. With a few simple exercises guiding them to paddle, swimming under water becomes a done deal.
At 17, as a certified Red Cross Water Safety Instructor, I noted that West Park only offered lessons for those 6 years and older. Eagerly, I filled the gap with private lessons to children under 6 years. Unfortunately, when the Park Ridge Town Council got wind of this, I was shut down for "using a public facility for private purposes." Hum.
There are number of books out now on this topic. I even bought several to send to my children to teach their babies--both 15 months (6/15/08). None were up to my criteria; they took a slow circuitous road creating too many distractions.
In my opinion, "Teaching An Infant To Swim" by Virginia Hunt Newman is THE BIBLE. And the only reason I can see that Amazon gives it 2 stars is because is old, and that spashy newer books catch the attention of the unwary.
If you know anyone with babies or toddlers, get this book.
It's a chance to save a life.
Thank you, P.Fox
