Skip this impractical book and get something else July 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The program is tedious and impractical. Tells you that you are better off with a Japanese tub to practice in, and requires lot of practice from you and baby on daily basis. There are other fun and simple programs out there that would teach your baby to swim, float, turn and breathe out of water and this is definitely not the one with a simple solution.
not so good April 28, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this book is only good if you started teaching your baby to swim when he was a newborn and it doesn't give many different choices. had some helpful tips, but overall I think I'll buy another one. my recommendation...skip it
important to have March 14, 2008 0 out of 8 found this review helpful
first heard about it actually on YOUTUBE. Different parents posted their videos of their baby infants swimming, or turning themselves over floating.It was so touching and amazing to see. So many of the parents said they learned from Douglas Domans book. Having a pool and canals all over the area where I live, it is sooo important for kids to learn swimming as early as possible. Book is nice with tips on fun bonding exercises to do with baby starting after birth.
Excellent Book. Wonderful Program October 30, 2007 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is an excellent, precise book about introducing your baby and young child to the joys and wonderful benefits of mobility in the water.
There are other books out there but this is by far the best I've read on the subject. I really enjoyed the MANY clear and descriptive pictures showing you the exact form of what is being described.
It is more thorough than any other book I've read. They take you step by step, year by year, all the way from the time your child is one day old up until their sixth birthday. They teach you how to help you baby swim under water, dive, blow bubbles, climb out of the pool, float on their back, and more, while thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. By the time they are six they will be able to swim in numerous yards using a perfect crawl stroke. It is anything BUT stressful but rather fun and productive.
Just hearing of even one child who has drowned or nearly drowned (and is now brain damaged for the rest of his life) is reason enough for every parent to be serious about teaching their young child to swim. The gift is yours to give. This book will show you how to do so in a fun, easy, beneficial, and productive way.
I would enthusiastically recommend it to any parent who has a child under six and would like to give them the beautiful, priceless gift of water safety, enjoyment, increased brain growth and function, and superb physical fitness.
A must have for new parents January 3, 2007 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
We started using this programme with our two year old, but it would be much better put into practise with a newborn. It is much slower going at this age, though the lessons and ideas are still working. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who is expecting or who has a new baby. The programme is simple, easy, and fun. Before your baby can walk or talk, he will be swimming. You can't ask for better than that.
