Timothy (7) & Kara (4) have been having swimming lessons for awhile now. Timothy & Kara can not wait to go up to Nanny's at summer time to swim in the pool.
Liam (3) his very first swimming lesson - waiting patiently for his swimming lesson to start
Liam was very hesitant about what he was suppose to do, but the instructor wasnt overly fussed as they like the little ones to get to know and trust them first.
Kara learning water safety

Timothy is doing well accationally gets told of for doing bombs in the pool but boys will be boys.
Timothy believes he doesnt need his floaties this summer.. is he in for a shock!!!
**************************
Learning to swim is a vital skill for all ages, especially children.
Ensuring your child receives quality teaching is important because larning to swim is a skill for life. Having your child "learn to swim" by a qualified teacher will ensure they are provided with appropriate skills.
However water familiarisation is no subsitutute for adult supervision. Rember, always keep watch when children are in and around water.
SOME POOL SAFETY RULES
1. Never leave small children unsupervised- even for a few seconds.
2. Put Fencing around the pool area to keep people from using the pool without your knowledge.
3. Keep children away from pool filters as the suction force may injure them or prevent them from surfacing.
4. Be sure all pool users know how to swim. Learners should be accompanied by a good swimmer.
5. Dont swim alone or allow others to swim alone.
6. Check the pool area reguarly for glass bottles, toys or other potentional accident hazards.
7. Dont allow anyone who has been drinking alcohol to use the pool.
8. Keep CD players radios and other electrial devices away from pools and nearby wet surfaces.
9. Stay out of the pool during rain and lightning storms.
10. Never dive into water before checking the water depth before plunging into an pool.
