Because the session is longer, you’ll get to see the entire progression — from warm-up moments and early confidence building, all the way to the first real attempts at pop-up breathing. What makes this lesson special is how natural the learning process becomes when there’s enough time to repeat, explore, and reset without pressure. You’ll see Ezra slowly understand the rhythm of the breath, how momentum helps him, and how the cues connect to the actual movement. The longer format also shows the little breakthroughs that only happen when a child has time to get comfortable, curious, and playful in the water. This video is a great look at what a real toddler swim lesson looks like from start to finish — patient, progressive, and centered around helping Ezra feel successful while still challenging him to grow. Whether you're a parent wanting a realistic look at teaching pop-up breathing, or a coach searching for ideas to structure your own lessons, this 30-minute session gives you an inside view of the full learning experience. ⸻ #ToddlerSwimming #PopUpBreathing #SwimLesson #LearnToSwim #WaterSafety #SurvivalSwim #swimcoach
