This summer, I am working with SwimWays as one of their Ambassadors — using a variety of their products to help my kidlets become more comfortable and safe in the water.
The kidlets have spent several weeks now, turning into prunes at our neighborhood pool, splishing and splashing in their SwimWays floatation wear. The Little Lady has gotten brave enough to dip her ENTIRE chin in the water and Mr. Boy — well, the boy with no fear has learned how to regain his footing and “float” up when he stumbles in the kiddie pool.
(“Stumbles” might not be the right word — that boy LOVES to go under water and deliberately attempts the “real swimming moves” he sees demonstrated by the big kids. Sigh — he doesn’t believe he’s only 23 months.)
Now I get to share their products with others!
(woo hoo!)

Want your child to learn to swim like a fish? With the SwimWays® FishKicks™ board, children can kick their way through the water with some sea worthy friends.
