What’s Inside:

• Fun Water Submersion: Simple, fun routines like “Waterfall Kisses” and “Blowing Bubbles” help tots ease into submersion, encouraging relaxed and safe underwater exploration with their trusted grown-up by their side.

• Kicking and Arm Movements: Playful activities like “Kick Kick Boat” and “Rainstorm Arm Movements” build strength in legs and arms, preparing little ones for coordinated swimming strokes down the road.

• Water Safety Introduction: Games like “Reach and Grab” introduce essential water safety skills in a kid-friendly way, helping children become comfortable with rescue techniques while fostering water awareness.
