In this episode we talk to Torill Hindmarch, recipient of the prestigious Virgina Hunt Newman Award for promoting the “Gentle Way” of baby swimming. It is always a pleasure to connect to our International Aquatic Community.
Torill, shares her passion and knowledge from her many years’ experience and her observations.
“In 1973 I was given the responsibility for a mother and child group in a pool where I was a swim teacher for the local schools, this was my first step on my journey in infant aquatics.”
In this episode we myth bust on some of our aquatic submersion misconceptions on the ‘dive reflex.’
“We want our babies coming to the water for pleasure, we don’t want to put them in a situation that activates a survival, which prepares it for something terrible, and the thing is that sits in the body, for some children it is very strong.”
Let’s keep connected:
