Ulrika Faerch, world-renowned family swim counselor, has been teaching families the art of swimming together for more than 25 years.

Now, in Happy Babies Swim, she will share her deep knowledge of swimming for babies aged birth to two-years, and how it can be used to help families grow in a range of ways. You will learn: - How water can be an ideal environment for instilling more far-reaching life skills such as confidence, self-awareness and resilience. - How listening and responding to your child's body language helps develop your baby's core self and how that leads to emotional awareness, self-esteem and empathy. - Why swimming together, in the uninterrupted environment of water (good-bye cell phones & gadgets ), increases the emotional bonds between parents and baby. - Loads of step-by-step swim activities and practical examples to help you get a great start with your child - so that not only your child, but your whole family relationship, thrives for years to come. ----- With the swimming pool as both classroom and playground, you'll develop a better sense of how your child sees the world and what interests him. You'll encourage his inborn curiosity and desire to learn, while developing your own skills as a caring, responsible parent. You'll emerge from the classes a better parent-of a child who is thoroughly at ease, confident and capable in the water. In short, you'll make a big splash in your son or daughter's life
