For an infant, survival swimming is a baby’s ability to rise to the surface, roll into an unassisted float and breathe regardless of the water’s depth, for an indefinite period of time.
For a toddler or young child, survival swimming is the child’s ability to kick and propel through the water – roll on to his/her back to breathe – turn and swim repeatedly to the wall, steps or egress, and get out of the pool.
