Kids are never too young to learn about swimming safely.
The American Red Cross provides free courses in infant and child swimming and first aid for children and adults. Held throughout the Bay Area, these programs are geared from children between 6 months and five years of age. They help develop swimming readiness through teaching kids to have fun in the water. Aside from learning how to blow bubbles, float, and explore the underwater environment, kids can learn aquatic safety. The Red Cross also provides videos, workbooks, and posters to teach older kids water safety and fun in the community or home pool.
