Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Learn to swim
I am an instructor that teaches swimming lessons to young kids and also a mom and tot class. A friend of mine had mentioned this book and I ordered it. It is fabulous! Some really nice game ideas and good explanations for the reasons that you introduce things in what order. I would highly recommend this book - I continue to use it for ideas.

We got this book and have found it to be very easy to understand, there are a lot of detail on every chapter which should guide you to teach how to swim from a baby (6 months) to a toddler.
I recomend this book to everybody who wants to teach a child to swim



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A beautiful book
Learn to Swim: Step-by-Step Water Confidence and Safety Skills for Babies and Young Children is a beautiful book about teaching kids to swim. It has great pictures, step by step instructions, and games and techniques for teaching your children how to swim. I especially liked the fact that it very clearly stated what children can learn at each stage. So Caleb is now old enough to be learning how to hold his breath. (He's 11 months old.) They not only said he can learn how to hold his breath, but explained ... Read More
