Swimming Safety
I get regular parenting tip e-mails from parents.com, and I wanted to share today’s, which has to do with swimming safety. Anna, like many kids, loves the water and is virtually fearless in it…. but she can’t swim yet.

remember the word FEW ! It only takes a FEW seconds in a FEW inches of water to do great harm ! I suggest a "tag team" when taking non-swimmers to the water. Share watching them , in short shifts , to be safe.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! I love that Anna enjoys the pool, ocean and lake so much but it's also a little scary how fearless she is. The tag team approach is a great idea! You also have to teach kids that it's great to love the water, but you also have to have a healthy respect for it too, especially the ocean. A little fear isn't a bad thing.
