Frequently Asked Questions
In my experience, yes. Here is a blog post about swim skills kids should learn and fun swimming games will help your child be more comfortable and have fun in the water.
I like to store pool toys in mesh bags or baskets that are lightweight and breathable. They allow water to drain out, preventing mold and mildew buildup. Hang them on hooks or pegs near the pool for easy access. Larger toys can be stored in a waterproof pool box to keep them protected from the elements when they aren’t being used.
