A Public Service Announcement

Because many of you are parents, soon to be parents, want to be soon to be parents..... OK, so this could apply to EVERYONE here:

You need to check out this website:

Infant Swimming

This appears to be some sort of "wonder-technique" that EXTREMELY young children... no wait! Infants! can learn in order to save themselves from drowning.

Back in the day, I taught swim lessons for several years and I've NEVER seen anything like this. Clearly we underestimate what infants are capable of.

Apparently, we all have to go to Arizona to teach this to our kids, but perhaps it's worth it. Afterall, winter is coming up. We all need a good excuse to go to Phoenix, right?

Whoa, this is unbelievable! How did you find out about it? Owen loves water and puts his face in it in the bathtub and laughs so he would love learning to swim sooner than later :)

I'm curious about how this is taught!
