June's Featured Item: Baby Steps & Waterproof Kids

Whether you'll be staying at a beachside resort or at a resort with a pool, swimming is ultra-important. We just read about an innovative DVD called "Baby Steps" aimed at parents of children under age two.

The DVD is the follow-up to the very successful "Waterproof Kids" which won the 2005 Parent's Choice Award and 2005 iParenting Media Award.

Both 'Baby Steps' and 'Waterproof Kids' DVDs combine essential swimming skills with clear demonstrations and repetition infused with water safety tips. Step-by-step modules demonstrate skills beginning in the bathtub and progressing to pools and open water environments.
