The Danger of Flotation Aids

As the article points out, traditional Parent & Child swimming classes & lessons can also give children a love for swimming without children realising that water has consequences. Whilst parents think they are doing the right thing enrolling their babies and toddlers into swimming classes & lessons, please be aware that it can take a few years of continuous terms before children are safe in those programs. In the meantime, be careful not to teach them that it is okay to jump into water if they don't have someone to catch them, can't turn themselves back to a wall, or cannot swim themselves to safety. And above all, don't let them think they are able to swim just because they can be independent in water with a flotation aid!
Water is a lot of fun. It can also have tragic consequences.
