1:  DO THE FINAL "CASTLE SWIM" SEGMENT in ALL PARENT-TOT CLASSES. AND TEACH THE PARENTS THE CORRECT "AROUND-THE-BACK SIDE-HOLD" in order to properly assist with BEGINNER POLLIWOG FRONT SWIMMING, with REACHING ARMS. 

-  All children can begin with sitting on a table castle (and then the wall) ... learning and reaching for another center bar island castle.

-  Babies not yet able to stand can continue launching from a sitting position from a table castle to an Island center bar castle.... progressing to a seated launch from the wall.

-  Babies who can stand up to furniture can go from a standing position from one Island center bar castle to another. 

2:  BE CERTAIN THAT YOU TEACH PARENTS THE CORRECT WAY TO HOLD THE STUDENT FOR DESTINATION SWIMS.

*  Use the "Around-the-back... Side-Hold" when assisting the child during Destination Swims to the platform, wall, steps, or another person's shoulders.
*  First:  BEGINNER POLLIWOG from Sit position on the platform to the center bar on the other platform.
*  Second:  BEGINNER POLLIWOG from the Sit position on the wall to the center bar on the platform.
*  Use the "Around-the-back... Side-Hold" when assisting the child during Destination Swims to the platform, wall, steps, or another person's shoulders.
