@teachyourchildtoswim: It’s not just that puddle jumpers delay swimming— They dramatically increase risk during the exact years when your child is most vulnerable. Why would you give a 2, 3, 4, or 5-year-old free access to water in something that makes them overconfident without real skill? Even if you’re “in the water with them,” we all know you’re not fully present. Not like you would be if they weren’t wearing it. And let’s be real—many of you aren’t even in the water at all. That’s the real problem. If you feel like your child eventually learned to swim using this? Great. But do right by the next generation of parents: Tell them you wish you hadn’t started with it. Because puddle jumpers are being misused. They’re meant for being around water—not in it. Never for swimming on purpose If your child can’t get their face wet, the solution isn’t freedom— it’s getting them underwater. Not through force. Through calm, consistent exposure. Through trust, play, and real progress. We’ll show you exactly how to do it—safely, gently, and effectively. There’s still time this summer to break free from puddle jumpers for good. Join the movement. Turn fear into skill.👇👇👇 @Prepare2Swim Comment Prepare 2 Swim for more details.  TEACH YOUR CHILD TO SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK Disclaimer: The instructions, advice, and or opinions depicted in this context may be dependent on, and should be considered in conjunction with specific limitations, qualifications or exclusions, which are set out in our Prepare 2 Swim courses.
