Being able to rotate, get back to the wall and exit the water (from climbing out at the wall or the steps/ladder) should be one of the first safety skills your child learns. It’s the quickest way they can independently get out of the water without having to wait for an adult to get them first if they were to just jump or fall into the pool.
(Of course get your child to monkey along the wall to the steps, we just stopped before this because it was time to open a house 😆)
Make sure you teach your child this skill and DO NOT keep catching them without showing them how or where they need to go to stay safe, because one day, that jump or fall may happen and you might not be there to catch them! 💙
