<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;">The baby neck ring is the latest in fun ways to enjoy your baby in the water, good water therapy and other benefits. The safety of the neck float is being questioned by swimming experts, but as long as you stay next to your baby, there is no chance of drowning!</span></span></h2>

Children often develop a fear of the pool from year to year. Parents get so busy with the holidays, and the cold weather does not make it appealing to go swimming!</span><br />

She put her feet in the water and wanted out, but I had to pull her in the water (making it fun by laughing and tickling her.) After I let her dunk me a few times she warmed up a little and swam to the bottom to get the hat - her new game. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Many parents are worried about putting their child under the water. If you are gentle and loving, you do not have to worry about your child going under the water. First you have to have your child used to having water on the face. You should do this in the bathtub, pouring water on the baby's face with a cup. You start with a little water and wipe his nose. As your baby gets used to that, you increase the amount of water by counting the seconds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For a baby older than around 6 months, have the baby pour water on your face or on a toy's face. Have the baby wipe his own face and your face and the toy's face making funny noises.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Put a toy in the bottom of the tub and see if your child will put his face in and get it! This is a good was for the child not to forget to put his face in the water over the winter months.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Babies are swimming animals before they are born! To continue this mindset, will ensure positive future swimming experiences. <i> Squeeze the clean washcloth on the baby's face, first on the side, then over the eyes.</i> Do this at every bath! As the child gets older, pour more water. Pouring water on the baby's face in the tub will prepare your child underwater submersion in a pool. This does not harm your baby. These babies are used to having water on their face.</span><br />

But it seemed to be taking forever and you just didn't have time to devote to this very important life skill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though the weather is not conducive to swimming, find an indoor pool where you can go to continue to practice - even once a month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you don't have a pool near by nor any swimming lessons available for your children, then you have to practice in the tub! Fill up the tub and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">practice. Even get goggles and put them on in the tub to catch the toys at the bottom.</span><br />

Even with my experience with so many other babies, I was nervous and excited his first time with Parker at the pool at 3 months. We played and floated and I poured water on his face like his parents have been doing in his bath. I really don't get too many babies that young and was afraid he would choke on the water... Don't you feel that way too? Well, even though I pretty much cut that out of the video, he did choke a little but it only lasted about 2 seconds and then he was fine. I stroked his cheek and talked him through it. I knew that I had to do it again and told myself that if he choked again I would work more in the tub... Thankfully, the second time going under, he was fine. It works!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Chalkboard SE'; font-size: 18px;">
As you can see in the video, soon he was gliding and smiling.</div>

Now your job is to have your child gain more control in the water. He is not water safe, and needs you every second.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks to my friend Linda for sending me this video that I want to share with you. Here, little Andrew is being a shark. Listen as Andrew yells: "I eat your fingers" while he swims back and forth between Grandma and Daddy, never tiring, doing more and more.</span><br />

Everything is blurry if you don't wear goggles. It can sometimes be scary to a young child. But if he sees your face when he is under the water he will get excited and forget all his troubles. Your child will just kick and dig and have fun while "swimming" to your face!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't worry about your hair, or makeup. It is all worth it! You will be amazed at how he will love going under the water! And the best thing is that after a few times it won't matter if your are under there or not. Your child will love it!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">May is National Water Safety Month. </span></h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Learn to Swim with Miss DVD can give parents knowledge to teach their children to be safe in the water from their first bath. Many parents don't think about swimming until their child can walk. But early water safety skills can save your baby's life! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The most basic skill is for your baby to be familiar with having water on the face, knowing not to swallow water. Even without going to swimming lessons, parents can play games with their baby in the tub and pool that can save their life.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1B31taWHP78pdcaUYMyx2qJsAkUWQuSogRdn9fHk2YqUtgbD6RVRQ7ObdK2GZXWIradEPOaok2DU8Hg3m1JaA3baQz8Qk7JQ8MJhMnWvlNvzrMoJqN34gJkxI8zN-_c3qcQxiy0HhiJH/s1600/IMG_5184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1B31taWHP78pdcaUYMyx2qJsAkUWQuSogRdn9fHk2YqUtgbD6RVRQ7ObdK2GZXWIradEPOaok2DU8Hg3m1JaA3baQz8Qk7JQ8MJhMnWvlNvzrMoJqN34gJkxI8zN-_c3qcQxiy0HhiJH/s320/IMG_5184.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Babies can hold their breath for even more than 2 minutes! This is longer than adults. Many drowning rescues occur in that time frame. If a baby can hold his breath, he will survive. The Learn to Swim with Miss Bea DVD has many more activities for the bathtub and for the swimming pool for children up to 4 years old. </span><br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't wait till you child is ready to swim; there are things you can do to make your child want to swim, even if your child is scared of the water.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You may believe that you can't teach your own child, but that is simply not true! Parents will feel confident in teaching their own children following the simple step by step demonstrations by parents and their children on the DVD.</span><br />

<h2>
The Kick: </h2>
<strong>BABIES UNDER 6 MONTHS:</strong> <i>The swimming reflex makes
babies look like they are swimming. Babies will naturally move their
arms and legs underwater. You won't need to teach your baby any
underwater motions. That is why you want to start your baby swimming
very young!</i>
<br />
<br />
<strong>FOR CHILDREN 6 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS OLD:</strong>
<br />
<ul>
<li>If your baby doesn't naturally kick, get low in the water and have him lean on your shoulder.
</li>
<li>Move your baby's legs up and down at the knees while you walk backwards.
</li>
<li>Have another adult move your baby's legs up and down.
</li>
<li>Hold your baby securely. As your baby kicks, you walk backwards towards a toy or another person.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<strong>FOR OLDER CHILDREN NEEDING HELP:</strong><i> Use a floatie </i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Place your child's hands on the float.
</li>
<li>Use your arms to move your child's legs up and down, bending the knees, flopping the feet, while moving to a toy.
</li>
<li>Try to achieve a happy medium of bending and splashing.
</li>
<li>You can also place your arm just above your child's knees to prevent his legs from going too deep.
</li>
<li>You child will continue to kick until he reaches the toy. This is the beginning of swimming! </li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<strong>FOR OLDER CHILDREN A BETTER KICK:</strong>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Hold the child facing you. Have the child kick really hard, while you pretend to crash the wall.
</li>
<li>Hold the child under the arms and tell him to kick to the toy while you walk toward the toy.
</li>
<li>Have the child push off the steps and kick to you getting in a horizontal position.
</li>
<li>Do

<li>Have the child jump in and kick to you, making sure that he splasheswith his feet.
</li>
<li>To strengthen the kick, try "the rocket" in <a class="bodylinks" href="http://www.swimbea.com/solo.html"><span style="font-family: "verdana";">the Swim Solo lesson.</span></a><span style="font-family: "verdana";"> </span></li>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In this <a href="http://www.aquaticsintl.com/2013/jan/1301_bottomline.html#.USOoFuj8zcF" target="_blank">article by Aquatics International</a> swimmers are encouraged to "Jump in!<br />
The industry has lucrative careers for young people passionate about swimming."</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you want to make it a full time career, I agree with the article that it is complicated and can be expensive to start. But, you can do this for the summers only and don't have to invest a lot of money.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"Once you’ve decided you can handle the high-octane environment that is a
swimming business, you’ll need to thoroughly explore all the options.
Opportunities in this industry aren’t often exposed, resulting in a
highly unrecognized career path. However, there are multiple arenas out
there, and you must be brave enough to step out of your comfort zone to
scrutinize each one individually and determine what is right for you."</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From my own experience, I had very little overhead and lots of profit. I can teach you how to keep it simple and fun! I am retired and not in the pool teaching swimming myself any more. I want to help others now. I have my dvd with the swimming lesson steps, for the instructors and parents and time. I would also love to have excuses to travel and would come to your town for free advertising when you start.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"The most common reason people give for their love affair
with swimming instruction is the instant gratification factor. You can
teach a child to read, play music and dance ballet, which are all great
things, but they also are long-term processes that can take years to
acquire. With swimming, however, one day the child is frightened; the
next day, they can do it. It’s the best feeling in the world, which is
perhaps why it draws people back year after year."</span><br />

first bath we get nervous because the baby is slippery, she might get cold, we
have to be careful about her belly button.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we google "baby’s first bath” we find all kinds
of suggestions and rituals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I
know that my baby was in a liquid environment for 9 months, why shouldn’t he
love his bath?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would get all prepared
and go for it!</span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">So, how best to approach
the baby’s first bath? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">This is Julie's story:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My baby was born in January and it was cold so I
put a space heater in the bathroom until the bathroom was toasty warm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I filled the baby tub about 5
inches with water that felt warm to my elbow (because I read that
somewhere).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I laid my baby
into the baby tub that holds her in a reclined position and covered her with
the “babyluve towel” (a great gift from my aunt).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I promise you that she seemed to give me the most peaceful
look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She just laid there!! I sang
to her and talked to her as I poured more warm water over her chest to keep the
towel warm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I washed her
gently, I was confident as she kept her eyes on mine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good thing Daddy was around to help me get her out of the
tub with her hooded towel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we
wrapped her up in several warm blankets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Until I felt that she was dry and her body “normal”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m glad that she didn’t pee on
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next time I will put a diaper
under her bottom with the</span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 12.0pt;">blankets just in case.</span></span><style>

to gently pour water on her face with a washcloth and wipe her nose so she

It's been about 8 weeks since we last went to the indoor pool. I was so worried that she had forgotten and would not want to get in the water with me. She knew just where we were and to enter the water where it's like a beach. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Oh no! she did not want to go under the water nor swim to me like she was willingly doing the last time we were there. But I did not give up!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I had to swim to her under the water lots of times, get the toy from the bottom and watch her walk all over the shallow end. Finally I just carried her to the deeper water and let her <b>push my head under the water.</b> Well, she did that over and over and over. Finally she started to have fun herself and soon she was jumping in the water just like before.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We were in the pool for about an hour and she cried when it was time to go get out. She wanted to jump in to the part that I couldn't reach. I think that she was remembering jumping off the diving board at her other grandma's house. Watch the video of her jumping and swimming to the side at 2 years old. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can't wait until Summer when we can go swimming more often and she can develop her swimming skills. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Right now I just want her to be able to start at the same place we left off last summer. I can't take her swimming more often because the indoor pool is pretty far away. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you haven't taken your child swimming all winter - do it soon! Your child may have already forgotten much of what he learned. You need to treat the time at the pool as a new adventure! Don't have expectations. Your child will look at the water with more mature eyes. His attitude of joy and excitement will depend on you! Show him how you like the water. Go under the water first and swim to him. Laugh and enjoy it.</span><br />

There are lots of things you can do in the bathtub. Look at my <a href="http://swimbea.com/" target="_blank">dvd</a> for ideas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Teach your babies to go under the water. Have your child put the babies under the water counting to three... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You can teach your child the meaning of kicking in the
water. If your child gets used to kicking in the tub, he will kick on
his belly in the water so much faster.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b>Here are the proven instructions to teach babies to go under water if under 7 months using the air in the face reflex:<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Blow like a gentle gust of wind onto the baby’s face. You can see your baby take in a gulp of air and/or make a funny face – do this several times before you go in the pool to see if your baby still has this reflex. (This reflex is usually lost between 4 and 9 months)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/LKw0kcLQUEI?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Follow these steps in the pool:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">After the baby is comfortable and playful in the water, hold the baby under the arms facing you, and make eye contact with your baby. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Count to three to set the signal,<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">blow quickly on your baby’s face<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">watch your baby make the funny face<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">smoothly and gently lower the baby’s head completely under the water for one second<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">When you raise your baby, wipe your baby’s nose so that not even a tiny water bubble will go into the nose. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Give your baby a hug to your chest so that the baby will blow out and not swallow any air. Skipping this step may cause the baby to develop a hard tummy. This may become a big burp, and may even lead to throwing up. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Immediately distract your baby with a toy.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Do this about 5-10 times a session if the baby doesn’t show any discomfort.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Extend the time under the water to up to 5 seconds pulling your baby toward you for a short glide as you step back.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Place your hand gently behind your baby’s head gliding your baby to another person.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Scatter underwater practice with practice on the other skills as instructed on the dvd, and playing with your baby.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Enjoy your time together!</span></li>

<b>REVIEWER NOTES:</b> By following Miss Bea's easy instructions
you <br />
as a parent or teacher can teach children how to swim, effectively
and confidently. <br />
She is so easy to follow, which allows you to be in
command of the situation <br />
from the moment you step in to the pool. <br />
<br />
Using simple little games and water activities that show them how to
hold<br />
their breath, have fun and maneuver their body in water, children
quickly <br />
lose their apprehensions (if they have any) and learn to get
around in the <br />
water and swim.
<br />
<br />
Watch the video and allow your child to watch it as well. This will
enhance <br />
your lessons with them as they view other children what you will
be encouraging <br />
them to do.
<br />
<br />
Whether your child has never stepped in to a pool before, or they have
had<br />
lessons but still need to improve, this DVD is for you!
<br />
<br />
DVD is about 35 minutes long and teaches in both english and spanish.
<br />
<br />
I fully recommend this one and encourage you to get them in to the pool <br />
early in life, before fear steps up to the plate.
<br />
<br />
Water safety is so important, as we hear of so many children drowning
each year. <br />
Please be sure your child knows water safety rules and
learns how to swim at a <br />
very early age.
<br />
<br />
You can do this! You need to do this. They need you to do this.
<br />
They need to do this.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are lots of swimming lesson programs for babies! Don't be afraid of the public pools. When you take a child to a public pool, check the pool temperature to make sure it is not too cool. Also after the pool, shower the baby/child to remove the pool chemicals. Otherwise the public pools are very safe, especially in the off season when there are fewer people in the pool.</span><br />

instructions, he’ll want to play! Or, your child may be uncomfortable with the
noise, the water temperature, or even the way you are holding him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t let it get you! Keep a calm,
gentle and fun attitude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your child
will sense your mood and react to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
