Wonderful.........2005-06-10
I am a swim instructor for the YMCA and there is no better swimming instruction program on the planet. We are the leading swim instruction program in the USA and I am so glad to be part of this industry. This book better equips me to teach preschoolers and their parents how to learn the basics of swimming. If your looking for a how to book, it will not fulfill that need. Place your child in swim lessons at a Y to recieve the full benefits of this program.
Not a how-to manual.......2001-07-27
This manual is a textbook for aquatic instructors. It assumes they have participated in the YMCA aquatic training and certification program and will use this manual to tailor classes to meet their student's needs. Part I is an overview of the Parent/Child and Preschool Aquatic Program. Part II is devoted to the Parent/Child Program and discusses parent involvement, how to work with the children, skill development and lesson planning. Part III is devoted to the Preschool Program and discusses lesson planing, how to teach character development and specific skill development for the Pike and Eel levels and Ray and Starfish levels. The Appendix lists aquatic program guidelines for children under the age of three and gives activities, games and songs that will make the learning fun.
I bought the Parent/Child and Preschool Manual because I knew that the YMCA had a successful Aquatic Program and I wanted to use their method to teach my son to swim at home. I was expecting a how-to manual or at least an outline of exercises that would teach swimming fundamentals but I found neither. For this reason I rate this book 1 star. Its target audience would more than likely rate it more favorably.

A must have for new parents.......2007-01-04
We started using this programme with our two year old, but it would be much better put into practise with a newborn. It is much slower going at this age, though the lessons and ideas are still working. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who is expecting or who has a new baby. The programme is simple, easy, and fun. Before your baby can walk or talk, he will be swimming. You can't ask for better than that.

Book Description
Since this internationally popular book was first published, hundreds of thousands of children have learned to swim with Virginia Hunt Newman's gentle, easy to follow instructions. With the help of photographs, she shows parents exactly what to do to teach their infant to be safe in the water in a fun and playful way.
She begins with answers to the first questions parents ask: How frequent should the lessons be? How long? Will my baby forget? Will he be afraid?
Among the subjects she covers are water temperature; introducing the infant to the water; getting him used to submersion; paddling under water; encouraging him to open his eyes under water; teaching him to dog-paddle on the surface of the water; and…how to use poker chips!
She also discusses breath control, floating, kicking, pulling, jumping, diving, games that can be played in the water, and pool techniques that can be adapted for use at lakes and beaches.
The author’s simple, proven methods, including the Ten Commandments of teaching little ones, will ease parents to that wonderful moment when they watch their child splash along with self-reliance, joy, and safety.

Teach Your Baby to Swim.......2001-03-17
I used this book 18 years ago to teach my baby to swim. Now I buy it for baby shower gifts. My baby could swim and dive to the bottom of the pool to pick up keys before he learned to walk! You could throw him in the water and he'd pop to the surface laughing a deep belly laugh! You won't believe how much fun this is. Basically, you start in the bathtub holding your baby close and you both go under water. Later you play "pass the baby" with a friend in the pool. Then the baby swims from person to person. All the steps are great fun!
