Many kiddos struggle with not being comfortable in the water, and hang out along the sideline in the comfort of the shallow end. This book can be used as a great teaching tool for kiddos, to have courage and give it a try, this will leave kids remembering chin up, belly out arms and legs spread out. This provided ideas for comfort transitions, the floor, tub, and finally the pool!
