Learn to Swim with Miss Bea, A Nadar… - Babies and Children Swim from the Tub to the Pool with Easy to Follow Swim Explanations and Demonstrations

The DVD has good content but does not have the capability to skip through the lessons. Therefore, you have to manually rewind or fast forward to the lessons you want to watch. The picture quality is not the greatest. The copy the I got unfortunately is blurry in the beginning.On the possitive note, the instructions are easily understandable and followed. This is important especially when trying to teach a 3 months old how to get accustomed to the water.

We really liked this DVD. It has great lessons to help you teach your child how to swim. My son watched this with us and he used the ideas and began swimming this summer. I began using these techniques on our baby and she loves the water and does not mind the occasional dunk - with the DVDs described warning.

My husband and I like this dvd a lot. We started practicing all the methods with our son and it they work out very well, but you must be very committed to teach on regular basis for these methods to work. Will use it for our second son too.

We love “Learning to Swim with Miss Bea.” We have four children ages 9 to 1 and we use her techniques to help all of them. If you haven’t taught a toddler to swim before, it's really helpful to have these lessons taught by a professional.

Not impressed with this product. Very little content.

Here is a story of a recent great success thanks to methods we learned from Miss Bea!Micaela (my granddaughter who just turned 4 years old) announced that she wanted to go to the neighbor's pool without the 'floaty' and 'have a lesson.' (This was after work last night.)She stood at the steps and showed me how she can stand in the water now with her face barely above the water when she tips her head back. She played at the steps for a while, putting her face in and 'swimming'/splashing' toward the steps. She didn't want to let loose and 'swim' a few feet to me as we have tried many times. "I'm a little scared," she verbalized. Theo (two years old), on the other hand, was swimming about with his pink 'floaty' on, his head held above the water by the foam under his chest and around the arms. (Bea said there is a better vest-device that allows freedom for the arms.) He would jump in from the side and freely 'swim' after re-emerging from under the water, unruffled by the water in his eyes. I encouraged him to take his floaty off and 'swim' to me. He stood on the step and with wide eyes, abandoned himself to the water. I gently 'pulled' his head toward me as he kicked and moved his arms pretty effectively.This encouraged Micaela. After what seemed like a long time of her playing alone, she decided to come to me with her head down and under the water. 'Stand closer Ita.' Very soon after short jumps to me, I moved back a few feet and she began swimming. What an incredible victory. Felipe and John were in the middle part of the pool engrossed in conversation and didn't even notice. We didn't make a fuss at all. I encouraged her as she did it over and over, now with my standing in the middle of the pool. She was beaming. I tried to encourage her to go to the other side, but no, not this time. But just as she overcame her fear this time, she will do more. I was very proud of her and she was so proud of herself. "You are so strong and brave," I encouraged her. "You're my fishies!"Soon, Theo was pushing himself to do the same, though it was his confidence that has encouraged Micaela first. Be the end of the time in the pool, both were trying to swim to me at the same time. It was tricky getting Theo to wait his turn. "Ma turn!!" He'd announce. I tried to get him to say 'ready'! when he wanted to lunge toward me. He did 'take turns' for the most part, waiting with great impatience and eagerness to plunge in from the steps and kick toward me (arms not as effective yet.)Micaela began sitting on the step when I would turn Theo around so he could 'swim' to the steps into her waiting arms. She was so proud of him and gleeful. I still guided his head a bit to keep him moving, but he was doing quite well under his own power also.Finally Felipe and John noticed and made a big fuss. Then after transitioning to new arms, I got a break and they swam to 'Tito' (Theo's name for us) and I took a short swim.I give thanks for all that we have learned from Miss Bea when my own children were young and now when my grandchildren are starting to swim!!!"Tita" (Maria Teresa)

The media could not be loaded.  Parents, Ms. Bea is an amazing swim instructor who really knows her way around teaching kids water safety and swim skills. I found her through recommendation of a friend. She had my 6-year-old son (who desperately wanted to learn swimming and ditch his floatie) swimming in just 20 minutes. Take a look at the attached video. Through a series of specific tactics and skill reinforcing techniques, she had him swim across half of the community pool in a streamline. She is also very good at making sure the parent is educated and know what to ask of their kid when practicing on their own. Swim is the "practice-makes-perfect" type of skill, so the more you practice, the better your kid learns. So, it is really on the parent to ensure training frequency. The lessons will give you the foundation of what to fill these practices with.

I bought Learn to Swim with Miss Bea DVD and feel in love with it. The content is wonderful constructed and is clear to understand. The step by step instruction is vital as it helps you understand the process of swimming for young babies and toddlers. I like the fact that it is in two languages English and Spanish. It has all the information needed to successfully teach children how to swim. I would recommended this DVD to anyone who needs help in understanding the true essence of Learning to Swim.
