There’s nothing scarier to me than seeing a puddle jumper lying by the side of a pool… and no child in sight.
That tells me there’s a little one who can’t swim… and isn’t wearing the thing they depend on to stay afloat. That’s a terrifying combination.
Here’s my advice:
🛟 If you use a puddle jumper, have your child wear it ONLY when they are NOT swimming.
It should be their “dry land” gear, not their swimming tool.
👨👩👧👦 When it’s time to swim, YOU get in the water with them—one-on-one.
Let them feel what water is really like. Not to scare them, but to help them respect it. To begin understanding it.
Because real water safety starts with awareness, not a floatation device.
Let’s change the way we think about “safe.”
Let’s teach them what it means to really “swim”.
Let’s do it 4 ANNA! 💦💚
