Your baby can swim;

This book is helping me to teach a valuable, life-saving skill to my 3 month old daughter. Although it's an older book (3rd printing in 1979), it's quite progressive in its views of childrearing. The first couple chapters help one to understand babies, communicate better with them, and bond more strongly with them. The exercise and swimming how-to information is invaluable. Ms. Prudden covers different scenarios, like bathtub and pool, and shows you how to make the most of each. She discusses teaching children individually, and even tells one how to lead a group swim class. The book makes it obvious that young children really can learn to swim, and the earlier they start, the easier it is for them. I highly recommend this book.
