ALL LESSONS

BABY & TODDLERS

SELF RESCUE – INTENSIVE PROGRAM

Children of the Water Self Rescue course is a highly specialised technique designed to teach children aged 9 months – 6 years how to rotate in the water from front to back independently.
During the 10 day intensive course children will learn how to change from a life threatening face down position to an independent life saving back float. This helps children know what to do if an accident should ever occur in the water. It’s also the fastest and safest way to get your little one swimming without the use of float devices.
