4 Tips to Teach Your Children How to Swim in Your Backyard Pool

As a parent with a backyard pool, your goals are for your children to be safe in the water and for your pool to provide tons of fun and happy childhood memories. To do that, your children have to learn how to swim. Where do you start? Do you enroll your children in organized swim lessons at the community pool or the YMCA? There are lessons available for all ages, including infants with Mom or Dad classes. They can be a big help, especially if you are unsure of how to go about teaching your children to love the water. The downside? The classes are at a scheduled time, and that may not mesh with your children’s schedules—or yours—on lesson day. Good news! You have an above ground pool for your kids in your backyard, and you can take your children in the water at any time that fits your children’s moods or your schedule. You can take as many days or even weeks as it takes to complete each step of the process of learning to swim. You won’t be limited to once-a-week sessions. You can incorporate the lessons into the fun time you spend with them in the pool. Best of all, it will be in a familiar pool because it’s in your backyard.
