When you travel to exotic places such as the Riviera Maya where the coral and fish life are beautiful you should snorkel. Also, when you come with kids you need to know that this is not only a really fun experience for them but it could be just one of the most amazing memories of their childhood. Kids as young as five or six years old can snorkel and people should know that. With a little effort and enthusiastic attitude they can learn how to do it really easily and being responsible about it.
On this post we want to give you some basic tips about how you can teach small kids to snorkel and make your vacations extremely amazing for all the family no matter how old are everybody.
1. If you can start your snorkel lessons in the bath-tub before your trip, this would be a great idea and kids would love it for sure.
2. Let the kids play with the snorkel gear, that way they can start being used to it when the time of real snorkeling starts.
3. Make sure the face mask of your kid fits well. Have your child inhale through the nose and the mask should stick on his/her face.
4. Smooth back all stray hair.
5. Try to practice any time you can but if your kid gets frustrated stop and leave it for another time.
6. Do some practice in a pool.
7. Always tell your child not to kick other snorkelers in the face, this is very dangerous.
This are very basic tips to teach children snorkeling, remember that once you are on your vacation you need to find a professional snorkel guide to help you decide the tour that would be the best for you and all your family.
