Infant Swimming Resource is an innovative educational program that teaches
self-rescue skills to kids 6 months to 6 years old. "It's not an instead-of.
It's an in-addition-to," says Barbara Gorman of Infant Swimming Resource, as
her 7 month old daughter practices her float. It doesn't mean it's your
child's responsibility to save themselves, but it's an added measure of
safety, like seatbelts." [pdf /

Can Your Toddler Float?, pressofAtlanticCity.com, New Jersey, June 24, 2009

themselves. That's the idea behind a program aimed at teaching swimming
skills to the youngest of children. "They maybe can't crawl or walk or talk,
but if they can manipulate their legs, they can stay afloat," said Barbara
Gorman, an instructor demonstrating the technique Tuesday at AtlantiCare
Regional Medical Center's Life Center.
