The Big Splash Swimming Academy

Barrie’s first swimming academy designed and built for babies, toddlers and children. Start with a safe and happy lifelong relationship with water!

💦 Why do we practice water safety skills in everyday clothing? 💦

Because accidents don’t only happen when children are wearing goggles and swimsuits.

Our Real-Life Water Safety Classes are designed to prepare young swimmers for situations they could actually face — whether it’s an unexpected fall from a dock, boat, pool deck, or shoreline.

By practicing in day-to-day clothing, swimmers learn how to stay calm, float, tread water, orient themselves, and call for help when it matters most. While these situations can feel overwhelming, confidence comes from preparation.

At Big Splash Swimming Academy, we’re not just teaching swimming lessons — we’re teaching life-saving skills that can be applied in the real world.

🚨☀️ Our Top 5 Water Safety Tips Every Parent Needs This Summer! ☀️🚨

Water safety isn’t just about being in the pool — it’s about creating layers of protection that help keep kids safe around water.

💦 1. Make swimming lessons a priority
Swimming is a life skill, not just a sport. The earlier children learn water confidence and survival skills, the better.

💦 2. Teach the #1 water rule
“Never get in the water without a parent.”
“Always ask permission before getting in.”
Simple rules save lives.

💦 3. Avoid the ‘everyone is watching’ trap
When multiple adults are around, designate one Water Watcher and verbally hand off responsibility when switching.

💦 4. Choose bright neon swimwear
Neon pink, orange, yellow and bright green are much easier to spot in and around the water than blues, dark colours or pastels.

💦 5. Prevent unsupervised access
Use pool fencing, self-latching gates, door alarms and childproof locks to stop children from reaching water unnoticed.

A few simple habits can make a huge difference. Save this post, share it with another parent, and help make this summer a safer one for everyone!
