Caitlin has started ISR (infant swim resource - infantswim.com) which is a survival swim program that teaches infants to float if they fall in the water. Once Caitlin is a few months older they can teach her to swim - float -swim. Since babies don't have enough energy to swim long distance they teach them to swim a few strokes - then float and rest and then swim a few more strokes, etc. Caitlin has had two lessons so far. She cries whenever she is floating - but is still picking up on the technique well. Most babies cry during the lessons - I am ok with that knowing that she is learning this survival skill. I have seen a lot of 18 month old children there who swim right over to the wall - amazing. I am also amazed with how much research has gone into this progam. If you have never heard about it check out infantswim.com!
