A swimming instructor has advised parents of the correct way to dry their children off after a dip in the pool, as doing it wrong could pose a potential danger.
Jetting off somewhere warm on holiday often means hours of fun for the whole family in the swimming pool, and while most parents will be concerned about their child having too much sun exposure, many might be unaware of the dangers of wrapping them in a towel.
Birmingham Live reports that the expert posted a video to TikTok detailing how the small adjustment could potentially save their children's life if they got into danger. In the video, Nikki demonstrates the correct way to put a towel around your child by comparing it to the way that most parents would 'naturally' dry off their child.
Nikki then shows the popular way of doing it, placing the towel over the child's shoulders and keeping them snug and warm. However, this method could be unsafe. "That way, if they end up in the water, they still have access to their limbs to self-rescue and they're that much safer," Nikki adds.
