2. Scan the QR code to watch a quick how-to video
3. Read the tips on the back for technique reminders
4. Try the Family Fun challenge to make it playful and engaging

You can use one card per swim session or rotate through a few—follow your child’s pace!

Perfect for:
✅ Confident DIY parents
✅ Skill-based practice without a rigid schedule
