ALT1:... that swimming lessons for babies and toddlers (pictured) reduce drownings by 88%?ALT2:... that swimming lessons (pictured) reduce drownings by 88% in babies and toddlers up to four years old?- Comment: For the ALT hooks, one of the other images in the article would be better. I'm not aware of a way to directly propose ALT images in the nomination.

- The ALTs are misleading as this appears to be a US-only study and even the researchers stated the results were imprecise. (The whole article is a bit US-centric). Belle (talk) 11:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- Everything looks good to me, in reference to Belle's concerns, ideally we could put a little more info about when and where the classes popped up (mostly America) and the response to them. I know there has been more criticism than the risk of infection. However, if you can't find it, no worries, I think the article is fine as is. I'll sign off on it tomorrow.

- One minor comment, I realize that "infant self rescue" is a trademarked name, so not all swim lessons are ISR, but it's getting to be one of those things like Kleenex that people seem to heavily refer to infant swim lessons as ISR, or at least that's what I've perceived. It may be worth mentioning the term in the article, since it is widely known. Cpuser20 (talk) 19:38, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
