Daily bath tub swims for baby Lynn were routine. At ten months, Lynn was introduced to pool swimming. Amphibious and unafraid of water, Regent was concerned that baby Lynn was spending too much time under water, a practice which Regent disapproves of, even today. In 1966, Regent Jr. was born and soon after his birth, Regent was experimenting with progressive swimming exercises, improving and expanding on what he had learned when teaching Lynn to swim. So confident was he that he sold his home, his possessions and life insurance policies, to finance and open his own swimming school, where he was free to develop and introduce his method to the babies of the world.
Babies start swimming lessons as young as four weeks old.
Infants are required to use the Diaper Swim Vest through to about nine months, when they switch to the upright position and wear the Floatation Swim Suit. Early starters can graduate to the use of the Back Float by the time they are eighteen months old. Water life-saving techniques should be taught to babies almost from birth. Risk of drowning.
