Floating mats are another great tool in baby and learn to swim classes. Large rubber floating mats care ideal for back floating, balance, crawling, climbing, entry and exit swimming skills. They are especially useful if you don't have access to a shallow water ledge. Even a yoga mat will float. But remember all activities must be done under strict adult supervision. The activities you can do will depend on your baby's growth and development on land. Tummy Time and Back Floating with water stimulation are ideal for this age. Learning to sit and balance on a floating mat is also ideal for babies. But a serious warning, these mats should always be in used under strict supervision. It is very easy for children of all ages to become trapped under floating mats. Furthermore, when you leave these mats around on the pool deck, it can become a major slipping hazard. Especially when the mat is wet. For this reason, you should remove and store this type of equipment securely when not in use. All baby swimming classes must be conducted in a safe and positive learn to swim environment. Each Baby and Toddler should be encouraged to learn to swim according to their individual readiness.
