1. Choose 2–3 Cards Per Session
Pick a mix of skills and games based on your child’s comfort level and attention span.

2. Preview Before You Swim
Show your child the cards before getting in the water so they know what to expect.

3. Use the Front and Back

• The front shows a simple image cue (great for your child).
• The back gives you quick tips and instructions.

4. Match with Lesson Plans (Optional)
If you’re using our lesson plans, you’ll find the same skill titles listed throughout each session. You can also reference any skill in the Parent Guide—just use the table of contents to find page numbers listed in alphabetical order for easy navigation.

5. Scan the QR Code on Each Card
You’ll get a short video demo and extra teaching tips for that specific skill or game.

Make it playful, give lots of praise, and repeat skills often. That’s how confidence grows!
