What to do if your child, or you, ever end up in deep water: come back up, get a breath, stay afloat and get to safety. These skills are practised in lessons only, with your instructor in the water, and they never replace supervision.
Your child learns to come back up calmly after going into deep water feet first, then settle and get their breath back. Feeling the water help bring them up takes a lot of the fear away.

Your child practises the first moments after falling in by accident. They come up, calm their breathing, roll onto their back, then head for the nearest way out. It answers the question many parents worry about most.

Your child learns to swim a short way, roll onto their back to float and breathe, then roll back over and swim on. It turns a swim that would be too far into a few short, easy ones.

Your child tries floating, treading and swimming in light clothes, with the instructor close by. Feeling heavy, wet clothes once in a safe lesson takes away the shock if it ever happens for real.

Your child puts the survival skills together without stopping: into deep water, up, settled, turned, swimming to the edge and climbing out. Doing it all in one go shows real readiness, not just single skills.

Your child rolls into deep water, treads water for one minute and then swims 50 metres. It is the biggest goal in water survival, and a strong base for safer swimming.
