Fun in the sun is not the first thing that comes to some parents minds when their children are around the water. More and more children are missing out on an essential safety skill in there lives.
Did anyone know that drowning is the 2nd leading cause of death in children under the age of 14? I know that statistic was extremely surprising to me also. Just hearing that statistic in its self makes me shake.
There is a child's pool party birthday going on almost every other day, and yet we have a child killed by drowning every 15 minutes according to the surveys done in two areas of China, Thailand, Vietnam and Bangladesh. Now we need to give our children a little more on this.
Being that I am a swim instructor yes I do feel a little stronger than most people about this subject, but any parent with eyes can read that it is a very serious skill that needs to be taught to our children.
When you were a child didn't you like to be able to jump into the water and play with no worries? And if not then didn't you want to? All kids want to be able to cool off in the summer with their friends and have fun in the pool.
A great number of children that I have seen lately can only touch the water because they are too scared of the water or they just are not familiar with the water, so they don't know what to do. You can find many tips on teaching your child to swim.
With that being said, I am the founder of 123 Swimming Lessons, and I will and I am going to be teaching you and your child the correct way to be safe in the water. Parents don't let your child be one of the statistics.
