The CSS Way has a reputation for getting non-swimmers to swim on their own. Quickly.

This instructional video shows how kids can be taught through a series of steps how to build the confidence and the skills needed for taking that essential first swim. Taking that first swim is a critical milestone for any beginner swimmer, regardless of age or background. Being able to swim a short distance ensures that children in particular have the basic ability to get back to safety if they fall into deep water.

This video builds off the submersion, floating and exit techniques taught in previous videos. Key elements such as hand placement, head and body positioning, ensuring kids are prepared to go underwater are just some of the key elements that are demonstrated in this video.

Once swimmers can execute a short time repeatedly and comfortably, it is encouraged to combine this skill with other skills to continue to develop swimmers confidence and independence.
