We love connecting with our community, especially mom-owned businesses. When The Little Seed asked to feature KidSwim in an upcoming Tackle Thursday, we jumped at the chance. What does KidSwim know best? Water safety!

Here’s a short excerpt from our Tackle Thursday guest blog on The Little Seed:

While I understand the desire to get a child swimming as quickly as possible, especially in L.A. where pools and pool based activities are a part of life, it’s important to realize that in order for a child to truly be water safe, they need three components to work together and none of them are enhanced by a ten day intensive swim program.

Water safety is achieved through physical, mental and emotional maturity and for these reasons, if someone asks me the question ‘when will my child be water safe’ and they are looking for an actual age, I would say, safely not before seven or eight years old.
