Unfortunately, traditional swimming lessons may not be enough to get your child swimming. They are costly and time consuming. The strategies that I will teach you can give you the confidence to encourage your child to become proficient through games and practice activities.
If you are a swim instructor you can receive the training to develop your own swimming program. I can lead you to start private and small group lessons with techniques and strategies for teaching children from babies (infants) up to 4 years old how to swim the gentle, fun way. Parents and children will be having fun in the water while mastering stroke progression. Having your own program in your own pool is the best way to maximize your income and reach a large number of people.
I taught swimming lessons at my own pool for over 30 summers with more than 200 children in small group classes. I made a swimming lesson dvd that includes my strategies and techniques for teaching babies and children how to swim. Learn to Swim with Miss Bea has been on the market for 7 years and has sold all over the world through my website and on Amazon.com.
I want to share my knowledge and expertise with parents and swimming instructors to enhance swim programs, so that more children will be safe and love the water while swimming to the best of their ability. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 this is THE video to getJul 05, 2010
By Daniele
Before my son was born I spent a lot of time researching and reading anything and everything on which I could get my hands. I used to be a life guard and a swimming instructor for all levels of swimming and I think this is a terrific video with well thought out, clear, and well demonstrated instructions for what to do and how to do it. Yes, it is only 27 minutes long or so, but you don't need it to be longer. It'll help any parent work with their child (ages 0 to about 6) in and around the water. With enough practice of the techniques that are shown, the child could learn to propel him/herself in the water [shouldn't expect a child under 3 to hold their head above water while swimming/doing a doggy paddle -it is too heavy in proportion to their body, and so infants and toddlers swim with their head down].
No other video currently in the market (July 2010) compares. A very good book to complement this video, especially if you have infants/toddlers, is How to Teach Your Baby to Swim: From Birth to Age Six. I also used the techniques in this book (most of which can be watched in Ms. Bea's video) since my baby was born and he never had a problem with water in his face or in his ears.
There's only one small aspect of this video that I don't like and it is the instructor saying that if you can teach your child/infant to float on their back, they could potentially save themselves if they fell in the water. It doesn't keep me from recommending the video but parents should know that right now there is only one program that can help an infant/toddler survive if they fell in the water with no-one around and that is ISR [Infant Swimming Resource [...]]. No YMCA or Red Cross swim lessons could help an infant/toddler with that because there is a lot more to water survival for this age group than knowing how to swim or float. Enrolling my 13 month old in ISR was the best thing I could've done [but I didn't find out about ISR until he was almost a year]. My son is now 19 months and with ISR he learned to propel himself under water, roll onto his back and float when he needs to take a breath/rest, and roll back to swim under water until he reaches me, the shore, the stairs, or the wall. ISR starts with children as young as 6 months to 6 years. As any parent knows, supervision is not perfect and so I'm thankful he can do this even though I watch him like a hawk in and around the water (any parent would). It is a gentle program. Sure, he cried during his 10 minute lessons each time, but he also cries to be taken out of the car seat and when he has to get a shot. Now he's less than 2 years old and is a little fish in the water. He has so much fun and I can tell he's so proud of his skills. The ISR lessons were worth every penny. He still watches Ms. Bea's video himself just for fun at least once a week. He asks for it!

 great teaching toolAug 29, 2009
By Amy Moravec
We really liked this DVD. It has great lessons to help you teach your child how to swim. My son watched this with us and he used the ideas and began swimming this summer. I began using these techniques on our baby and she loves the water and does not mind the occasional dunk - with the DVDs described warning.
