3 Things I Love About Puddle Jumpers 🚫

1. Nothing
2. Nothing
3. Nothing

In all honesty, I hate these things 😤 They do more harm than good.

Puddle Jumpers:
⚠️ They create a false sense of security
⚠️ They reinforce a vertical posture in the water (aka a drowning position)
⚠️ They can actually put your child at a higher risk of drowning when not used properly

I only recommend USCG-approved flotation devices as a precaution when around water—not for swimming. For example: 🚤 on a boat, 🎣 fishing on a dock, or 🌊 during ocean activities (surfing, jet ski, paddle boarding).

❌ Flotation devices should NOT be used for playing in the water or learning to swim!

Transition to Stroke💦

This next step in your child’s swim journey was developed by Master Instructor Audrey Harrer and builds beautifully on ISR Survival Skills.

In this program, your child will:
✨ Transition from underwater arm movements to reaching arms out of the water (freestyle)
✨ Continue to strengthen independent swimming, floating, and survival skills
✨ Learn proper flutter kick technique (face down and on the back)
✨ Begin progressing toward freestyle, backstroke, and other strokes
✨ Always prioritize water safety, survival, and aquatic problem-solving

Around ages 3–4 years old, once your child has mastered their ISR Survival Skills, they’re ready to advance into Transition to Stroke🏊🏼‍♀️

Question: Do babies really learn this? 👶🏼💦

Answer: Yes—they do! ✨

It’s a process, and every child learns at their own pace, but these are real survival skills.

And the results speak for themselves. 😉🌟🤩

Gov. Josh Green said conditions on Oahu’s North Shore were “very serious” early Friday as heavy rain triggered rapid flooding, prompted evacuations, and led to multiple rescues. ⬇️

Don’t worry our Keiki Surf Sessions have NOT ended!! They are just put on hold until the weather and water both clean up. Missing our lil shredders and hoping to get back in the ocean soon! 🌊🏄🏽🩵

It only takes a second. One moment of distraction can turn into a life-threatening situation.⏰‼️

This is why we talk so much about layers of protection—constant supervision, discussing boundaries, barriers, alarms, survival swim lessons and CPR, but when every layer fails, your child deserves one more: the ability to save themselves. 💦

ISR isn’t about swimming—it’s about survival. It gives children the skills to respond, float, breathe, get to an exit or wait for help in a float when it matters most.

Because the truth is, we can’t control every moment… but we can prepare them for it. 💛💙

Our keiki have been using wetsuits for a while now and I’m always excited to share the best products with my swim ohanas—because we all know our keiki deserve the best. 🤍🌊

Selective Hā makes the warmest, best-quality wetsuits I’ve found specifically designed for keiki. They’re perfect for those chilly, windy swim lesson days, beach days, surf lessons, snorkeling and pretty much any aquatic adventure you can imagine. 💦

You can purchase directly from Zoe’s website at www.selectiveha.com, or stop by Up & Riding to try them on and purchase in person.

We love these wetsuits! We also love supporting trusted and beloved local businesses. 🩵🤙🏽

Also mahalo to our ohanas for providing the cutest keiki models! 💛💛💛 .kiyomi
