New lifesaving technique for U.K. toddlers

A Wiltshire Mum whose son fell in and drowned in their garden swimming pool in July 2014 aged 3, has been to America to learn a new technique for teaching infants how to survive in water.

It's based on a technique called ISR, Infant Swimming Resource, but her particular one is called Pediaswim.

Olivia Rowe from Upavon went to Florida to learn the technique, a region where there are plenty of garden pools.

They believe it's the first time this technique has been properly taught in the UK.
