Book Reviews of Water Babies: Safe Starts in Swimming
Book Review: Confidence with baby swimming
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because I belief in not using floatation devices 100% of the time (it interferes with learning about buoyancy) to teach a child to swim, but I felt I was a bit stuck with my 16 month old and wanted some ideas on how to progress.This book exceeded my expectations. It has given me more ideas on how to hold my daughter in the water, including ways in which I can swim with her. I enjoyed the chapters on how to take her underwater; there is a good explanation of the dive reflex in newborns. It is presented in an easy to read format, with excellent photographs to demonstrate the techniques being used. The fun part of swimming for both of you is emphasised. If you are starting with a newborn there are excellent explanations of how to start your baby off in the water (starting with the bath), how to select a suitable pool and what sort of equipment you might like. Also there is an explanation about the newborn swimming reflexes. This book really does give you confidence with your baby in the water without having to rug them up in arm bands and rubber rings, and does what it says it will - "Teach your baby the joys of water - from newborn floating to toddler swimming."
