Teach Your Kids How To Snorkel

LeisurePro Tip: Snorkeling is a great way to spend time with your kids while on vacation. Use these tips to prepare your children for snorkeling:

  • Buy each child a self-draining snorkel, as they may not learn how to expel water on their first try.
  • Practice in the bathtub or a swimming pool. Make sure your child is comfortable and has mastered the art of snorkeling underwater before taking them to a larger body of water.
  • Buy a life jacket for children, as it will help them stay afloat and reduce fatigue. Have them practice swimming with the life jacket while wearing their snorkels.
  • When your children are ready to snorkel, make sure to apply plenty of sunscreen on their backs, or better yet, have them wear a tee shirt to keep from burning.
  • Snorkel in the morning when the water is calm.
  • Bring drinking water so your children will stay hydrated. You may want to bring snacks too.
Just follow these snorkeling tips and you'll have a stress-free outing with your children.
