Celebrate Swimways International Learn to Swim Day

I received product from Swimways to help facilitate this post.  Aa always, all opinions are my own.

Coming up on Saturday, May 18th is Swimways International Learn to Swim Day.  This special day is dedicated to educating parents and children about water safety and the importance and benefits of learning to swim. To help celebrate, Swimways has joined up with the heroic pups from the hit animated series, PAW Patrol!   And I’m excited to share some of their great lineup with you!

Are Your Kids Timid Around Water?

While it’s a good thing for children to understand the dangers of water, it’s not good for them to be scared.  My husband and I have done a few things to ensure our kids are comfortable around water.  This includes:

  • Taking them to hotels as infants and spending time in the water with them.
  • Wearing my infants in a water sling as we explore the water for the first few times.  This helps them feel safe and secure next to me which means they relax and enjoy their time in the pool.
  • We’ve put the kids in swimming lessons once they are 5, which is the age requirement in our town.
  • Both my husband and I have worked with our kids independently in the pool to practice skills such as floating, kicks, and overall comfort.
  • Having enticing water toys available helps the kids to want to get in and play.
  • We also use floatation devices to ensure they stay safe while playing in the water.

    I super love that these swimmers now have characters on them. That would have been so fun when my kids were little.
