For any water safety or swimming class, children learn better if they're developmentally ready, properly motivated and if the experience is enjoyable.

Here are some recommendations:

• Kids are generally not developmentally ready for formal swimming lessons until after their fourth birthday.
• Don't become lax in feeling that your child is safe in the water after participation in an aquatic programme.
• Whenever infants or toddlers are in or around water, an adult should be within arm's reach at all times.
• All water safety programmes should include information on the limits of what infants and toddlers can understand and do.
