As the summer heat continues and we're all spending LOTS of time in the pool, I thought it was fitting to talk with my daughter's swim instructor about water safety. This week I'm joined by Coach Dana Moser, a swim coach with 16+ years of experience instructing swimmers.

In this episode, we cover:

• 05:50 Building trust in water safety.
• 10:19 Parents must balance safety without instilling fear.
• 17:58 Children must follow safety rules when swimming.
• 26:08 Respect your child's water fears and desires.
• 29:15 Water toys teach water play and skills.
