Super Swimmer!

By Justin Edwards

You will learn how to teach your child to go from blowing bubbles to swimming across the pool unaided. This book will give parents a method for teaching their young ones to swim as well as give advice on maintaining safety around the water.

I think all people have the capacity to love and enjoy the water in a safe and responsible way and this book has the following goals with that in mind:

Teach kids and parents to respect the water
Teach kids to love the water
Make sure parents understand how dangerous the water is and give them a method for protecting their children
Ensure a lifelong love of the water
