Editorial Reviews

Dr. Elizabeth H. Brown, MD F.A.A.P.

"Claire Elson taught both my children to swim when they were 2 1/2 years and 18 months old respectively. They became safe, confident fearless swimmers. Her teaching gave them a sense of self assurance that they still have. I am deeply impressed both as a mother and a pediatrician by Claire's empathetic, caring teaching methods and her focus in water safety technique."

This review is from: Teaching Preschoolers How to Swim in Seven Days! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was stunned at how short this video is (10 1/2 minutes). I expected more step by step advice. Instead, she says things like "Teach your child to roll." Uh, how, exactly? There are not many demonstrations of HOW to teach something and I get the feeling the child she is working with already KNOWS all this stuff! I haven't shown it to my granddaughter yet and she may enjoy watching it, but I don't feel it taught me anything that will help me teach her to swim.

This review is from: Teaching Preschoolers How to Swim in Seven Days! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is very short and offers no useful information for the parent. I just gave you more information in this note than is in this video.

I purchased the video early this summer. My daughter is 3 1/2 and it has been a tremendous benefit getting her use to the water. We watch the video over and over together. It is not a long video and keeps her attention. The little tricks for teaching her to get her face wet and the references to ice cream scoops etc. were invaluable.

Molly can now float, kick and swim all over the pool. I have a great little swimmer now whom I am very proud of! It was money well spent in my book. Carol Eckert
