Study Summary
This study is designed to evaluate whether commercially-available swim self-rescue schools are effective to teach children ages 12-23 months to stay safely alive floating in the water (or grasping the pool's edge) without adult intervention. The investigators will measure children's water self-rescue skills at baseline and then they will engage in commercially-available training over the course of several weeks. The investigators will then measure their skills again. Assessments will be conducted using a standardized protocol with a certified lifeguard present. Parents will also complete a short survey concerning child and family demographics and child and family swim and lifeguard training experience.
Primary Outcome

This was measured through a standardized behavioral observation of children's behavior in a swimming pool. It was scored in a binary fashion as "yes" or "no", with each child in the study scored either "yes" or "no".
Interventions
