According to Mikael Olausson, there are advantages to adults in the children's vicinity bathing as usual and not acting as teachers.
- Mom, dad or other adults should go and swim, play and have fun in the water and in that way make the children comfortable with the environment, with the water not being dangerous, he says.
He believes that there is a method for how to teach someone to swim.
- It can be wrong unknowingly, he says.
- Drop the actual swimming lessons to the swimming teacher and a summer swimming school for example.
