Most people don't think of a candle providing swimming skills but I'm here to tell you they are a great aid for swimming lessons you can use at home! They make for great breath control and awareness!
- put it a ways away, how long can they make the flame "dance" with a breath? (Long streams of breath being the goal) Turn and look at you and take a big breath in and make it dance again!
- blow it out, light it again and repeat!
- look at pictures of lips and face when blowing, talk about how we can blow bubbles in the water the same way! šŸ˜
- Change it up by turning out the lights and doing it in the dark!
This is such a great winter activity to practice swimming skills at home, not to mention the great benefits for mental health deep breathing can be!
Let me know if you give it a try with your Littles! Obviously this should be done under direct supervision šŸ™ƒ

I wanted to share this great example of Harper starting a natural transition from "swim float swim" to starting to pop up for a breath and keep swimming! She still has the roll because she needs the rest sometimes but as you can see she rolls back over and keeps her head up for a quick breath before starting to swim again. She is working towards a great breath controlled swim across the pool!!
Great work Miss Harper! šŸŠā€ā™€ļø

A skill for any kids water safety tool box should be learning to roll over and breathe! Paige is doing great adding this skill to her list of accomplishments!

This girl has come so far! When she started with me we basically worked through crying and fears of not wanting to try anything the whole time! She still gives me a run for my money, but she is great example of how consistency and working through things with mom and dad as well as my instruction can pay off!
