Part eight of our educational series with Karen Baildon

What‘s the difference between Drowning Prevention vs conventional Learn to Swim?

Well, one word survival. Throughout the years, I’ve met many, many parents that have spent many years and lots and lots of money on swimming lessons. And their children have still got very basic drowning prevention skills. That should not be the case. If first and foremost, formal swim lessons emphasised drowning prevention skills and soft rescue skills that can help a beginners swimmer save themselves independently in the water.

Your instructor needs to be teaching your child with a sense of urgency. They are teaching a life saving skill. Conventional learn to swim lessons, teach limited, independent self saving skills, and quite often drag on for years and years with no real results. Your child needs to be mastering self saving survival skills as quickly as possible.
