Importance of Turning Skills for Water Safety: Teaching Babies to Turn Underwater
Turning skills are a vital component of water safety for babies and young children. It is important for babies to learn how to turn to safety, whether it’s towards a parent, a ledge, or the side of the pool. This skill can be introduced to babies who have good breath control and have been attending regular swimming lessons, usually between 8 to 12 months of age.
Building Independence with Shallow Water Play for Babies. Aqua Sensory.
Floating is one of the first skills babies learn when starting to swim. It is an ideal way to build floating confidence by practicing floating to and from a shallow water ledge with the assistance of an adult. To ensure safety, adults use a double trigger cue – baby’s name and “ready go” followed by a lifting trigger. This verbal cue prepares the baby for submersion and gives them a chance to catch their breath. Once babies become mobile on land, they will initiate their own free floating skills, and well-established floating patterns will allow for propulsive movements through the water. Adults can reinforce water safety by teaching babies to wait for their invitation of “ready go” before swimming. Start swimming today to promote fun, fitness, health, and safety for your baby.
