~ Summer Fun With SwimWays ~
Did you know that National Learn To Swim Day is May 21st? I didn’t! You’d think that with 6 kids I’d know that there’s a day dedicated to learning how to swim, especially since I live in Florida, where it is so important to know how. All of my boys are decent swimmers and now we’re working on Joseph. He has yet to make the transition. If we hold him, he’s fearless and tries to jump out of our arms, but once you try and teach him, he hesitates. It’s products like those from SwimWays and the SwimWays Baby Spring Float that make summer fun with SwimWays and make the transition easier and safer. It is, after all, a life saving lesson that is extra important when you live in Florida, since it’s almost always pool or beach weather. It’s an essential skill that allows kids to have fun while staying safe.
SwimWays actually started the National Learn to Swim Day in 2012. They’re a company that is dedicated to educating parents and children about water safety and the importance and benefits of learning to swim. The SwimWays Baby Spring Float is the single best float on the market today and for good reasons; It’s fun and easy to use and the SPF 50+ canopy feature is genius. It helps keep kids safe from the strong Florida sun rays, something that is exactly what Joseph needs because he has extremely sensitive skin.
SwimWays Swim Steps 3 level Program :
1. Introduction to water is all about keeping your baby safe, comfortable and balanced in SwimWays baby floats, just like the one Joseph is using above.
2. Toddlers love to be independent and Swim Step 2 is designed to work with kids who desire to explore with the perfect swimming aids like Swim vest, Swim Sweater and Swim Shorties.
3. Swim Step 3 products are like training wheels for the water. They make the final step in learning how to swim even more fun with their Power Swimmer Swim Trainers and the Sea Squirts Swim Assist Vests.
SwimWays has been teaching kids how to swim for over 40 years and I wish I had known about all these products sooner. This weekend we made our first step in transtioning Joseph into the pool with confidence and the SwimWays baby spring float made the process fun and easier for me to help Joseph yet still be able to balance baby Olivia (who’s next in line in a few short months) on my hip.

We have this same one and my daughter loves it!
I am so ready for the pools to be open! Yay for summer!
I did not know that there was such a thing a National Learn To Swim Day. I can swim underwater, but over the water…only for short distances
I never we have a National Learn To Swim Day & SwimWays sounds like a wonderful program & I love that they have 3 steps involved to make it a smooth process, thus making learning an easier task.
He’s having too much fun! I think this is a great way for kids to learn how to swim.
It’s a great idea for children to learn to swim. Your kid looks so happy! How cute he is!!
These products look great for getting littles used to the water at a young age. Your little guy looks like hes loving it!
Oh I will bet that baby never wants to get out of the water. Love the idea of the sun shade too.
I love these products and wish they would have had them when I had babies. I think swimming lessons and kids being comfortable in the water is so important.
He is flippin adorable and I am SO ready to get in the pool!
These are definitely a must! I had these for all 3 of my kids.
I like that 3 level program. My oldest is a decent swimmer but my youngest hates the water in his face so we’ve struggled to get him to learn.
The sun shade on the float is a huge help. Hope this will be the safest swim season yet!
I think it’s a great idea for children to learn to swim when they are very young
I love how happy he looks. He must be loving the independence he is getting with the Swimway.
