Unique Swim Lessons: 10 minutes can save a life

SoCal Survival Swim is a life-saving program teaching water survival skills to infants as young as 6-months-old.

SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) - SoCal Survival Swim is a life-saving program teaching water survival skills to infants as young as 6-months-old.

In just 4 to 6 weeks, a child can learn to do the following life-saving techniques:

  • Hold their breath in the water;
  • Roll over from a face-down position to a face-up back float;
  • Float and relax; and
  • Breathe until rescued.

What’s more is they learn to do it with their swimsuits on - and fully clothed – the way most children are dressed when they accidentally fall into a pool.

Founder Jessica Noel Gonzales shows News 8’s Ashley Jacobs why the Swim Float Swim technique works.
