With that being said, parents did you know that the 2nd leading cause of death in children under the age of 14 is drowning? That is very upsetting being that I also am a father. Just that statistic alone should be very disturbing and for some reason yet I don't understand it.
80 percent of the planet earth is water and people swim every single day, but we still have a child die every 15 minutes from drowning according to extensive surveys in Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh and 2 areas in China.
Being that I am a swim instructor yes I do feel a little stronger than most people about this subject, but any parent with eyes can read that it is a very serious skill that needs to be taught to our children.
So parents ask yourself, when you were growing up didn't you love to be able to go and play in the water freely? I know I did. Every child wants to, loves to and has to go and have fun in the sun. That's just the way the kids are.
A lot of children can get in the water and be happy but just can't enjoy it as much because they don't know how to swim to save themselves. There are so many different ways and tips to help you teach yourself or your child the correct way to swim.
With that being said, I am the founder of 123 Swimming Lessons, and I will and I am going to be teaching you and your child the correct way to be safe in the water. Parents don't let your child be one of the statistics.
