Teach Kids to Float Not Drown | Wichita News

Drowning is the top killer of kids ages one to five—so programs like ISR teach babies as young as six months how to self-rescue by floating on their backs. It’s not about making kids “drown-proof,” but giving them a lifesaving skill. Parents like Andrew Piña started his kids in ISR at ten months, especially since they’d be near pools often. But skills alone aren’t enough—constant, focused supervision is non-negotiable. Phones distract, and drowning is silent, so staying present and within arm’s reach is critical. ISR + vigilant parenting = the safest water experience for little ones. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
