These videos about putting wetsuits on babies are important.  Our new teachers and parents in  Parent-Tot need to learn the most efficient way to do  this.

It would be so much better if ALL parents would purchase their own wetsuit, and dress their beginner level child in their own dry wetsuit BEFORE putting the child in the pool.   Try to encourage them to purchase one.  

In the meantime, if we MUST put a wet wetsuit  on a baby, do this way:

*  Watch the way Ashley lodges the newborn baby's head on her shoulder in a semi back float position ... while she slips the suit on to the child's legs.  After that, turn the baby around to finish the job.

*  All the while...  SMILE BIG! The one universal sign in all cultures is THE SMILE.  Other body  language  has varied meaning in other cultures (like thumbs up, etc.) but the SMILE IS UNIVERSAL.
