Kids love splashing, paddling or diving in the water and swimming is fun and healthy for your little ones, but safety is extremely important, even if your kid can swim. Water is one of the main element of our lives, but it can also be one of the most hazardous. Kids can drown in few inches of water, so here there are some tips to have your kids enjoy swimming in total safety.
• If swimming in a pool, always beware of depth markers: they will tell you how deep water is at that point.
• Enforce safety rules: no running near the pool and no pushing others underwater.
• Swim at a depth that the kid is comfortable with and if they have just learnt how to swim, they should always stay close to the shallow end.
• Always have the supervision of an adult; never allow children in a pool without proper supervision.
• Test the pool’s water temperature before allowing your children to dive in; cold water can shock their body and slow their muscles, making it more difficult for them to swim or stay afloat.
• For your babies or toddlers, consider Safe-2-Swim baby seats; they have been designed to provide total safety and comfort, with items to suit all babies, both early and late starters. Sup
• For slightly older children and for a guarantee of total safety, use aids like our Safe-2-Swim Premium trainers, armbands made with a material that provides an extra layer of support and safety that parents will fully appreciate.
• For 3-6-years-old kids, a Swim Safe Swim Vest and a Swim Safe Kick Board will be surely useful to learn how to swim and have fun in total safety - always provided, of course, that there is an adult around to watch them!
