Are baby swim survival lessons the answer to child drownings?

There are no parents in the pool, no singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and definitely no floaties or kickboards. Babies and toddlers are required to attend lessons five days a week for up to eight weeks and are made to save themselves from drowning while dressed in full winter clothing, including a nappy.

Rachelle Beesley admits the baby aquatic survival classes she and her husband Richard run are intense, but insists they get results in a way regular "mums and bubs" swimming lessons cannot.

"Babies do cry at our pool because we are pushing them outside their comfort zone and that is their only way of communicating,'' Rachelle says. "It's hard for parents for the first couple of weeks to watch their baby cry, but when they start seeing results they know they are doing the right thing for their child. I would prefer to hear a baby cry during our lessons, than not hear them cry ever again because they have drowned at the bottom of a pool."
