Learning to swim and to perfect it is a long and on-going process and can be, for many, a difficult skill to accomplish. Some remain a plateau, while others progress by leaps and bounds. Breathing coordination is especially difficult to master and may take some time. Swim life offers infant swimming classes; babies are supposedly born swimmers and its best to teach them to swim at an early age. Do note one parent is needed to get into the pool with their baby/child. 

So take a splash this summer along with your child and let your child acquire a skill alongside too!
