As a competitive swimmer in her youth, Deborah practically lived in the water for many years. With nearly 50 years of experience teaching swimmers, Deborah knows how to make swimming fun and guide children past their fears.
Realizing the power and effectiveness of reading to children in preparation for swimming, Deborah brings this clear and unique approach to make swim lessons fun and safe. Rhyming words and pictures of playful otters and swimming children will inspire, guide, and motivate children. Before ever hitting the water, children will be excited to try to swim like otters. Adding your child’s own photos to the book will inspire them even more.
Even if you’ve never taught swimming, you can do this! Deborah gives step-by-step instructions after the fun story. With so many children drowning every year, helping a child you know learn the basics of swimming is a safety and survival skill that will bring enjoyment for years to come.
