Stop doing this when teaching your child to swim! 💦 Your child, no matter how young or how new to swimming they are, will never wear armbands in a Puddle Ducks lesson. We want to teach your child to swim independently and how to be safe in the water. Technique is ingrained at every level and wearing armbands hinders this. Non-fitted buoyancy aids (such as floats or woggles) allow children to push away from them when they are ready to be independent. Find your nearest Puddle Ducks class today! h
