    Awesome job Dad! As a Swim Instructor, was searching for videos and came across yours! Clicked bcuz this is much how I teach my students. A few pointers if I may:
    Kids as young as 18 mos can grab the wall and pull themselves out. They just need to develop strength over time and have you coach. Also, before signaling a jump in, have the child "hang ten" toes over the edge of pool deck so they do not scrape their feet or fall short 😖 lastly, I love the technique of using distraction, and while that is effective, having the child blow small bubbles during submersion as well will keep the body/mind calm. I have a 3 year old student who dove with me last year into the 6ft depth, swam to the wall and got out on her own. This year, her sister (4 yrs) is diving down to the 9ft depth and pushing off the bottom to the surface. My grandson who is 3, touches the 5ft depth and flutter kicks his way up to surface. Can't wait to take him to a deeper pool! God Bless you Dad, you are one of a kind and the world needs more like you ❤

    • @plips71755

      I’m almost 70 and still today think of things my grandparents taught me. I brag about stuff they did or taught me. They probably never thought I was paying attention to remember so much. They have been gone a while but gosh I still miss them everyday. They did everything they could to make my life happy. They didn’t have much money but I always had what I needed. And most of what I thought I wanted really didn’t make much difference. You remember the time they spend with you, not the things they give you. It’s time, not things that last. For adult children or even teens - don’t lose the time you get to spend with parents and grandparents. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. You don’t get them back. And it doesn’t work to say tomorrow is another day because one day there will be no tomorrow. And you will regret the time not spent with them when they are older and can’t do what they use to. So then, just sit and remind them of what you and they use to do. Ask them about their life, what they did before you were even born. You may think I don’t have time, next week or next month I will get around to it. At some point you won’t get the change. Believe me. You will be glad if you spend the time now. Their time is short - make it happy for them.

    Unbelievably, this is exactly how my father taught me to swim almost 50 years ago! I've been a "water kid" ever since and am eternally grateful. Even swam across the lake on my own when I was 6 years old (with Dad following behind in the dinghy of course). Still love the water to this day. Most of my vacations are even planned around it! I also learned the "swim to the edge and pull yourself around" lesson. I wonder how many kids lives would be saved if parents with pools would just spend a day and teach this to their precious babies.

    • @Skeptique
      @Skeptique Год назад +2

      I think this was probably the norm 50 years ago. I don't even remember anything about learning to swim, it was as natural to me as walking. To this day I have never learned proper strokes or how to dive, but I was so comfortable in the water I was jumping off the high dive boards in public swimming pools when I was 7.

    You got it! I have 7 kids and this is exactly how I taught each one of them. I knew I needed to respect their fears to build their trust because my dad taught us by tossing us in the pool and mocking us when we cried. So I hated swimming as a child, even though we had a pool. Once I could touch the bottom, I had confidence to start going under. I ended up loving swimming and also knowing how I would NOT train my kids one day. They are all grown now except my 9 yr old and they all LOVE swimming. Diving toys and patience are key!

    Thank you. The memories of learning to swim begin to fade. But, i clearly remember jumping to my father's arms when very very young. It was an important survival lesson. You hear about children drowning under tragic circumstances. Panic burns through so much energy, just having the confidence to know you can survive when your face is under water. Knowing how to float, tread water, scull when tired. It wasn't a bad skill while in college either. Many a summer I worked as a lifeguard. So many lessons i learned at a young age when what i was doing was important and people depended on me.

I haven't been able to learn swimming even though i really feel like learning. Because of fear and the methods of teaching in the past. These kids are so lucky to be able to learn everything from the kindest people like Garrett and Jessica. You inspire me everyday. After your video i feel like overcoming my fear of water. Hope i could learn from someone like you. God bless you all. Lots of love!!

      I agree Garrett is an excellent trainer! He teaches respect for the water and everything in it! Starting slow in a safe and calm environment with no pressure. As a child I remembered learning to crawl around the walls and floating made swimming fun and safer for me. Being able to flip on my back to relax, calm down, or just to catch air made a world of difference. God bless and good luck with your journey to the sea!💕🙏🎆🎇

      Always respect the water, as he says, and understand the currents in the area if you are swimming in nature. Also understand your own abilities/ limits. Everyone should learn to swim or at be able to least comfortably tread water.

      @@jeannedigennaro6484 Very true many people don’t know how to swim. People I’ve known, told me it’s because they don’t live near an ocean. The problem with that idea is that floods can occur anywhere and accidents can happen on boats, docks and lakesides. Knowing how to swim keeps you calm and discourages you from making as many careless mistakes around water. Just knowing how to float and doggie paddle can save your life. It saved mine!

    Thanks so much for posting!! Swim lessons are all booked up here because of COVID and I'm so sad my kids don't know how to swim. We are definitely going to the Michigan beaches a lot this summer and teaching them how to swim.

    That brings back memories for me. I taught my kids to swim. It’s awesome when they go underwater at such a young age and you can see they they are completely relaxed, and comfortable. I did the thing when they were an infant where you blow in their face a little and put them underwater for about 5 seconds. It really works. It was gratifying when at the local swimming pool my kids were teaching their friends to swim telling them the same things I taught them.I also let them hold my neck when I swam underwater. They loved it, I loved it, and they learned. They grow up fast. Enjoy and appreciate the time you spend with them.

    This brings back strong memories of mum teaching 5-year-old me to swim underwater, first in the pool, then at the beach. I always loved the Power Ride final sprint to the beach on her back as a finale to the lessons.
    Still deathly afraid of deep water, but anything less than 10 metres and I am good. Illogical I know, but mum never got me to that part in the lesson plan and she's gone now, but the basic lessons in trust and oneness with nature remain.
    Please keep inspiring and reminding us all of these kind of beautiful and indelible moments.

    This is so beautiful ❤️. There are some people will take kids to the Ocean. They have never , never been in the pool or ocean. That's where accident become failure. My kids were small. I would take them to the High School near use. It's never to late , never too Old to learn how to Swim. The most important thing is to learn how keep yourself above water . Survive. What other advice do others have? It's great to heard other people advice. Beautiful 🌹❤️ to hear others.

    This is amazing. In the last video I watched, he was getting the baby acclimated to being in the water, and now he's practically swimming and diving! And I love that he teaches his kids how to navigate the edge of the pool to get themselves to safety by working their way to the shallow end. Does he teach adults, because I'm adult who never learned to swim and I feel like I could do it if he was my teacher, he's so gentle and patient, lol.

    I love your willingness to teach your kids life skills. Perfect. Your relaxed and trusted approach is the perfect way for kids to learn.
    A tip (from a swimming teacher) is to teach Cali to flutter kick to the surface after his deep dive. Also, I'm not sure, but maybe the pressure in his ears could be harmful. So need to check with Dr? Encourage pressurising his ears if deep diving.
