Hanneke van Tol Baby Selfrescue Specialist en Trainer
Hanneke van Tol is a certified Baby Self Rescue specialist and founder of SwimSafe Academy — one of the very few swimming schools in Europe to teach self rescue skills to children from as young as four months old. Since 2013, Hanneke has guided hundreds of babies, toddlers and their parents in learning the water safety skills that could one day save their lives.
Baby Self Rescue
In our Learn to Swim programme, we teach children from 6 months to self rescue. We use the proven SwimSafe Method. We start with breath control and rolling onto their backs. Children learn to float independently in deep water. We teach with attention, calm and confidence. This creates a safe environment where children master swim and float skills and work towards their diploma. In small groups or individually, we teach children basic swimming skills and work towards obtaining a swimdiploma that meets the Dutch National standard for Swimming Safety.

Our daughter Selom was signed up for the 4 weeks of infant survival training. Now with the training, she floats like it is her second nature! Our continued goal is to get her swimming, and with this base in place, that will happen any week now.
