Why do we celebrate face-in swimming? 🥳

Because swimming with the head lifted high above the water (otherwise known as doggy paddling 🐶) is tiring and inefficient! When the head comes up, the hips and legs tend to drop. When the hips and legs drop, the body creates more resistance. More resistance means more effort just to get to the air 😮‍💨 For children, that extra effort can quickly lead to fatigue which compromises their safety.

Learning to swim with the face in the water promotes a more streamlined body position and helps children move farther while using less energy 🤍🧘

That’s not just better swimming…it’s safer, smarter swimming. 🤗

The conversation about flotation devices can be confusing!

When should you put them on your child, and when should you skip them? 👇🏼

✅ Wear a properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved life jacket when boating, fishing, or around open water where conditions can be unpredictable.

✅ Life jackets can also provide an added layer of protection around water (such as on the pool deck) when used appropriately and under close adult supervision.

⚠️ Skip puddle jumpers, water wings, and other flotation devices during swim time or lessons. During playtime in the water holding your child or using close supervision is the best option!

Why?

Because flotation devices can create an artificial swimming position that doesn't reflect how a child's body moves in the water without them. This can make it harder for children to learn how their body naturally floats, balances, and moves through the water.

No flotation device replaces:
👀 Active supervision
🚧 Physical barriers
🏊 Water safety skills

The goal isn't to fear flotation devices—it's to understand when they serve a purpose and when they may interfere with learning.

One of the most common questions I hear is:

💭 "Can babies really learn to swim?"

Young children don't learn formal swim strokes first. They learn age-appropriate survival skills designed to help them respond if they unexpectedly find themselves in the water.

For infants and younger toddlers, that often means learning to roll onto their back, float, rest, and breathe independently.

For older toddlers and children, it may include a swim-float-swim sequence that helps them move toward safety.

These skills aren't meant to replace supervision, barriers, or other layers of protection. They're one important layer in a comprehensive approach to water safety.

Every child learns at their own pace, and lessons are customized to meet them where they are.

Have questions about whether your child is ready? I'd be happy to chat. 💙
