Parents learn how to teach a child to swim

My swim instructors and I share our swimming knowledge with you so you can teach swimming to your infant, baby, toddler or child. Teach Baby to Swim was build in order to educate parents on how to be their child's swim instructor so we can save lives together.

Why Teach Your Child Swimming?

Did you know that the number two cause of death in children under four years old is drowning? Drowning kills two children everyday in the United States. But remember, drowning is preventable. With proper supervision, swim training and pool safety we can make a difference and save lives!

How Can You Prevent Drowning?

As parents, we have the ability to prevent our children from drowning. We can prevent drowning in three ways:
  • Block entrances to pools, lakes or other water sources from your child using fences and gates
  • Maintain constant supervision with your children when they are around water
  • Teach your children to swim to give them live saving water skills
