We wanted to take a second to talk about the concept of Swimming vs. Surviving....but really, we want to talk about why it is important to actually learn how to swim.
The TLDR version is that doggy paddle IS NOT swimming, and can actually be dangerous in the wrong situation.
It is very important that your swim lessons (or your child's swim lessons) actually teach SWIMMING and the concepts that we talk about all the time relating to body position and breath exchange.
Enjoy!
