This weekend I bought a kids mask and snorkel for my daughter who will be two years old in a couple months. The guy I bought it from (Neil at Apnea in Jersey) said he just got his oldest to snorkel and he is six years old. I thought for sure she was ready to wear a mask as she is always stealing my sunglasses and insisting on wearing them. Yesterday, I went to a pool BBQ and while she did not want to wear the mask, another kid her age did. We are going on a week holiday to Turkey this weekend so I hope I can get her to sit on the beach in waist deep water and stick her face in the water with the mask on. Next trick will be to get to breathe through the snorkel.
Does anyone have any experience teaching infants to snorkel? My daughter is very confident in the water with her water wings on, and loves being thrown up in the air, the plunging down under the water and floating to the surface on her own. She says “more”!
Any advice would be appreciated.
