Favorite Piece of Advice

For any parent ready to take their child’s swimming abilities seriously, simply start them as young as possible! You can easily start your child's water journey in the bathtub. Parents who get their infant on their back in the bath and perform verbal conditioning to teach their child to swim will see better and faster results than those who do not.
