An infant can drown in as little as an inch of water in less than thirty seconds. A bathtub, toilet, bucket, swimming pool, hot tub, or any other container can be dangerous, and water safety should never be taken lightly. It's imperative never to leave a child unsupervised near water, and because child drowning is preventable with a long term commitment to swimming lessons, it's equally important to make sure your child can swim. The ability to swim is one of the best life skills you can give your child, and the sooner you do it, the safer your child will be. Statistics show that when water skills and comfort in the water are introduced early, children are less likely to develop a fear of swimming. Since a child's fear of water might prevent future attempts at learning the necessary water skills, it's important to start early and be safe. Mommy and Me Go to Swimming Lessons is a must-read guide book before starting swimming lessons with your child. Written through a child's eyes, it helps introduce parents and children to swimming lessons and encourages them to feel comfortable and excited about going. Your child will be asked to learn all of the water skills introduced in this book at their own swimming lessons. This is an easy, fun book that your child will want to read over and over again, even after they have started learning to swim. About the Author: Angela A. Kear is the mother of a daughter named Adriana. She wrote this story from her personal experiences with her daughter at swimming lessons. She believes there is a HUGH need for a book that helps prepare parents and children for swimming lessons and encourages them to feel at ease and energized about going.
