Top 5 Summer Safety Tips for Toddler Swimming
West Berks Reading and North Hants
Summer is swimming season, and while toddler swimming is loads of fun, safety is always the top priority. Whether you’re splashing in a local pool or heading to the beach, these top safety tips will help you enjoy the water with confidence.
- Never Leave a Toddler Unattended
Even shallow water can pose a risk. Always stay within arm’s reach of your toddler, even if they are confident in the water.
- Stick to Lessons
Regular preschool swimming and toddler swimming lessons help reinforce key safety skills, such as floating, entering and exiting the pool safely, and holding their breath.
- Use the Right Swim Gear
Ensure your toddler is wearing a well-fitted swim nappy and a snug swimsuit. Hats and rash vests also protect delicate skin from the sun.
- Hydrate and Take Breaks
Swimming is exercise, and toddlers can tire quickly. Be sure to offer water frequently and take breaks out of the sun.
- Choose Trusted Providers
Always choose lessons run by experienced instructors in a safe environment. Our baby and toddler swimming classes in Berkshire are designed with safety and development in mind.
