Not all kicks are good kicks. 👀💦

In fact, the wrong kick can create more resistance and make swimming harder.

The goal? Movement from the hips—not the knees.

And sometimes… no kick is better than a bad kick.

Watch closely and try this simple trick with your little swimmer next time you’re in the pool. 👏

Save this one for later! 💦

Workin’ 9 to 5… 🎶 except it’s usually more like 7 to 7. 😂💦

When drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4, there’s always more work to do.

Teaching the child. Educating the parent. Raising awareness. Sharing the message wherever I can.

Always trying to reach the next family before their child reaches the water alone. 💙

One thing I NEVER tell a child in swim lessons? “Don’t cry.” 👀

Instead, I focus on the SKILL I want — not the emotion I don’t. 💙

There’s a reason why. 👇

Blow bubbles!” 🫧 It’s one of the FIRST things children are taught in traditional swim lessons—and one of the things I DON’T teach beginner swimmers. 👀

Here’s why:

When a child holds air in their lungs, that air contributes to buoyancy and helps them stay higher in the water. When they exhale underwater, lung volume decreases and so does some of that buoyancy.

Exhaling also means the next breath needs to come sooner. For a beginner swimmer, my priority is simple: take a breath, close your mouth, hold your air, swim then roll back to float when you need to rest or breathe. 💙

Were you taught to blow bubbles when you learned to swim?

Can children on the autism spectrum learn lifesaving swim skills? Absolutely. 💙

With the right teaching approach, patience, consistency, and an understanding of how each individual child learns, children on the spectrum can develop the same lifesaving swim and float skills we teach every child.

Autism doesn’t change the goal. 💙

Most swim lessons teach the child. We teach the parents, too. 💙

Before families complete our program, parents get in the water to learn how to safely practice at home, build confidence, and help their child continue developing the life-saving skills they’ve worked so hard to learn.

Because water safety is a family effort. 🌊

Most parents think kicking is the first skill children should learn. It isn’t.

A strong swimmer is built on a strong foundation. That’s why we prioritize the skills that matter most first—and everything else builds from there. 💦

Would that surprise you?
