[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Invest in the infant swim safety course.  They teach kids as young as six months to flip on their back and float - it's amazing to watch.

We had friends do this many years ago and the logistics were challenging (if I remember correctly the one-on-one lessons were only 10 minutes long but they had to go something like 5 days/ week) - but the hassle would be worth it in your case.

You can see the cool videos here of baby's flipping over on their back and 1 year old kids able to swim to side of pool:

I think British swim school does it in our area. They are in every state.[/quote]

You cannot ever depend on the ability of a child this age to get him or herself out of the water. You just can't. Don't bother paying for these classes, because it's a false sense of security and having a false sense of security is exactly what goes wrong with every plan to keep kids from drowning in backyard pools.

It has nothing to do with the OP's parents degree of care or w/ev. Even people who care deeply have kids who drown in pools. [/quote]
