  • Not One More Child Drowns: Infant Swimming Resource a Mother Shares Her Story of Tragedy and Explains How You Can Prevent Infant Drowning
    Not One More Child Drowns: Infant Swimming Resource A mother shares her story of tragedy and explains how you can prevent infant drowning. By Marla Carnes August 2011 Courtesy of Marla and Dwain Carnes My son, Sterling, was born when I was 27 years old. I stayed home with him. In fact, he never spent a moment away from me during the first two years of his life. We never had a babysitter. He was with me every second of the day, except when we both slept. We had such an extraordinary bond with each other and loved each other more than words could describe. 1 of 9 Copyright © 2011 CrossFit, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

My first thought when we walked into the house was, “Oh no, there is a pool. I’m going to have to watch Sterling a lot more carefully. Oh wait, it’s winter and we won’t be outside.” I felt a little relief about that. Then I noticed the stairs in the house. I thought, “Oh no, there are stairs. I’m going to have to watch Sterling a lot more carefully.” We didn’t have stairs in our house, so Sterling was not good at going up and down them yet. For some reason, Sterling stayed right by my side, which was out of his character. He was the type of child to just do what he wanted and go where he wanted.

  • Scientific Review: Minimum Age for Swim Lessons
    Scientific Review: Minimum Age for Swim Lessons (Approved June 2009) Conducted by selected members of the Aquatics Sub-Council and American Red Cross Advisory Council on First Aid, Aquatics, Safety, and Prevention (ACFASP): Stephen J. Langendorfer, PhD, Linda Quan, MD, Francesco A. Pia, PhD, Roy Fielding, MA, Peter G. Wernicki, MD, David Markenson, MD, FAAP, EMT-P Questions to Be Addressed What Scientific Evidence Exists to Support Setting a Minimum Age for Swimming Lessons? Corollary questions: Does evidence exist to support an optimal age for acquiring swimming and aquatic skills? Does evidence exist to support a universal order of acquisition for swimming and aquatic skills? Does evidence exist to identify the most appropriate purposes and methods for aquatic programs for young children? Introduction/Overview The earliest and/or optimal age(s) at which aquatic skills should be introduced within structured (a.k.a., formal) swim lessons has continued to be a persistent and controversial issue in the aquatic and medical fields for over four decades. The controversy in part stems from differing theoretical perspectives underlying the nature of skill acquisition as well as the practical purposes for which swim lessons are offered. One developmental theory, maturation, assumes that all behaviors including aquatic skills change over time in a regular, ordered pattern as a result of internal, hereditary-based processes mainly dependent upon a person’s chronologic age. A contrasting theory, learning, presumes that behavioral changes primarily depend upon specific environmental experiences or sometimes the 450 Scientific Reviews/Advisories 451 interaction of those experiences with age. Finally, a new contemporary theory, dynamical systems, sees behavioral change as possessing inherent emergent char- acteristics strongly associated with the elements of complex systems as well as dynamic, physical, and psychological principles.

More pragmatically, aquatic programs, while indirectly and subtly influenced by theory, have been primarily shaped by their underlying purposes.

  • INA Early Intervention for Babies at Risk Hagit Friedman, Marina Soloveichick, Amir Kushnir, Chava Kasher, Caroline Barmatz and Omer Bar-Yosef
    Chapter INA Early Intervention for Babies at Risk Hagit Friedman, Marina Soloveichick, Amir Kushnir, Chava Kasher, Caroline Barmatz and Omer Bar-Yosef Abstract Brain and nervous system development are experience dependent. Indeed, the sequence of development is laid out genetically, but early environmental events are major contributors to the system’s development and optimal functioning. Various fetal injuries and birth trauma make babies vulnerable to developmental problems: cerebral palsy, seizures, abnormal muscle tone, delayed developmental milestones, sensory integration, and more. Our goal in the study presented here was to improve the neurodevelopmental track of babies at risk using Infant Neural Aquatic. Parent and baby dyads who met initial criteria were recruited for a 5–6 months interven- tion period through an open invitation, followed by a conversation and signing informed consent. In the beginning and end of intervention period, participants completed questionnaires, and developmental features of the babies were assessed using analysis of neuro-motor and vocal characteristics. Significant neurodeve- lopmental delta between values at the end and beginning of intervention period, comparing intervention and control, is described, and the strength of INA specific intervention tool is analyzed. Keywords: brain development, brain injury, early neurodevelopment, early intervention, developmental time windows, developmental insult, premature babies 1. Introduction 1.1 Early intervention In the old Talmud, an imbecile, deaf-mute, and a minor were included in the same category related to religious obligations (Baba Kama 55 page B). This approach was explained as probably the earliest expression of the significance and power of early intervention—for babies and for disabled people. In recent decades, we return to this approach and look for suitable and efficient early intervention models in order to successfully cope with developmental insults.

    INFANT SWIMMING RESOURCE Parent Resource Book By Harvey Barnett, Ph.D. & JoAnn Barnett, ISR SMI Dedication Jake Morrison Dear Parents, Congratulations on enrolling your child in the Infant Swimming Resource program. This could very well be the best decision you will ever make to protect your child’s life. We only wish that we had enrolled our son Jake in ISR before we lost him to an accidental drowning. We are convinced that he would still be here with us today if we had. Here is our story: On November 30, 2013 while visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday our lives were turned completely upside down. Our son, Jake, managed to sneak out of a Jake’s parents created the Live Like Jake Foundation to spread room with adults present where he fell into the the word about drowning prevention and make sure that all fami- Intracoastal and lost his young life.

He is right there in the next room playing with his cousins. My heart sank when I noticed the back door open because I just knew at that moment he was gone. The panic set in and we were all running around the backyard in the pitch dark screaming for Jake. The pain knowing that your child needs you more than he will ever need you and i you can’t help him is paralyzing. You think to yourself dedicated his life to creating this amazing program and that this can’t happen to us because we are good saved so many children’s lives with his techniques.
