 The Best Learn-to-Swim Instruction for ChildrenAug 01, 2004
By William Hartzell
Waterproof Kids is essential for all parents who want to give their children the gift of being safe and comfortable around water as well as helping them learn to swim. With a strong emphasis on safety Ms. Anderson shows us step-by-step everything we need to know from introducing infants to water to teaching teenagers advanced swimming techniques.
After loving the water as an infant, my almost 4 year old son when through a phase of resisting going in the water at all and he especially hated getting his face and head wet. After seeing Waterproof Kids my son took an interest in the wonderful video footage of Gaylene demonstrating various strokes and showing infants going completely underwater. Now it's his favorite DVD.
Since being introduced to Waterproof Kids and seeing other kids learning to swim, he now loves "getting dunked" and doesn't mind getting his face and head wet at all. In the last three weeks since he's been watching Waterproof Kids, he's made more progress in learning how to swim than all the rest of his life. It may be designed for patents to teach their children to swim, but the real benefit has been from our son watching it and becoming inspired and motivated.
I am sure that we will use the different modules of the DVD as we progress through from toddler, young children and teens. It's a good thing that DVD's don't wear out because it's going to get used in our house a lot!
Gaylene is bright, energetic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and clearly loves what she does. Her positive energy is a delight. Give your kids and yourself a life-long gift of love for swimming. Get Waterproof Kids. You won't regret it!

Well-produced DVD: Lessons presented clearlyMay 26, 2004
By Shannon J. Vergun
I am a mother of two active boys. This DVD is a life-saver. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in water safety.
How many of us are sick of looking at huge bills for private swimming lessons that seem to leave our kids' minds as soon as they get in the water again? This way, we have the skills to teach them on our own, or to support what they are learning in their lessons.
I especially like the fact that there is a section on ocean safety.
Bravo, Ms. Anderson!

Excellent visuals and techniques - a great present!Jul 28, 2004
By J. Norman
I am really impressed and glad I found this. The step by step approach, great examples of how to keep lessons fun, and really clear above and underwater video make this instructional DVD so helpful for parents. No matter what age or skill level, you'll see appropriate techniques to help gain confidence, progress, and enjoy the water. I'm giving a copy to my local library, so more kids can be strong, safe swimmers. I also think it would be a good present for new parents (much more useful and long lasting than other kid junk we receive).

If your kids are around water then Waterproof Kids them.Aug 12, 2004
By John Ogrodny
I live in Hawaii and my son has been around water since he was 6 months old. He's now 2 1/2 years old and he has no fear of water. This has been very scary for me. On a couple of occasions while I was watching him he charged into the ocean as fast as he could run without a life jacket or floaties. He was up to his kneck before I could catch him. He can dog paddle and he knows how to hold his breath but he's still 2 1/2 years old. When I heard about Waterproof Kids I had to get it but I was worried about getting my son to sit through it. The first time I put it in he watched the whole thing with me from start to finish. We paused between the modules to practice on dry land some of what we had just watched. He loves the interactive part. He has since requested Waterproof Kids to watch on his own many times. When we are at the beach I've even seen him practicing some of the skills on his own. There is no substitute for an attentive parent when your child is around water but Waterproof Kids has given me a little extra peace of mind. I highly reccomend Waterproof Kids as must for kids who have been around water and kids who haven't.
Aloha From Hawaii,

sensationalJul 25, 2004
By D. B Cox
As the mother of seven children I can tell you that Gaylene Anderson is brilliant! She teaches in a way that is so positive, that it should make all parents feel confident to teach their child to swim. Gaylene demonstrates the kind of systematic teaching that is beneficial in really all parenting skills. Bravo to Ms. Anderson and here's to many more wonderful video's such as this one! Keep up the great work!
