Back to School. Back to Routines. Back to Swimming.

As schedules fill up with school, sports and activities, swimming can be easy to put off—but learning to swim is more than another extracurricular. It’s a life-saving skill.

Fall is a great time to build consistency, improve technique and develop confidence in the water—without waiting until next summer.
And when that winter beach vacation or warm-weather getaway comes around, your swimmer will be ready to enjoy the water with greater confidence and you will enjoy more peace of mind.

Make swimming part of your family’s back-to-school routine. Check out our Safer Swimmer Promise and Enroll today!

Confidence grows when children experience what they can do.

At SafeSplash, we see that happen through listening, practicing, working through difficult skills and recognizing real progress in the pool.

That idea is also at the heart of the Generation Real Project, an initiative led by our parent company, Youth Enrichment Brands. Generation Real is focused on helping families create more of the meaningful, hands-on experiences that build confidence, resilience and joy.

Its first practical resource is the Generation Real Essential Reading List, featuring eight books selected by Youth Enrichment Brands CEO Rob Price and child-development experts Erica Komisar, LCSW, and Jennifer Breheny Wallace.

The books offer guidance for four challenges many families are navigating: screens and attention, confidence and independence, achievement pressure, and meaningful connection.

You do not need to read every book. Start with the question that feels most relevant to your family and take one small step.

👶 Welcome to Baby Safety Month.

Every September since 1991, this month has been dedicated to helping parents and caregivers keep their little ones safer, in and out of the water. 🌊

We're using the month to share facts including the numbers behind drowning risk, what it looks like, and small habits that make the biggest difference.

Follow along all month!

💧👶 Is your babysitter water safety educated?

The National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) created a Caregiver Water Safety Checklist to help parents and caregivers understand the steps needed to keep kids safer in and around water.

We’ve partnered with NDPA to help raise awareness about drowning prevention and share resources that empower families and caregivers with the right knowledge.

Swim diaper questions come up in nearly every parent orientation, so let's settle it here.

A good swim diaper should fit snugly at the legs and waist without leaving red marks, and reusable swim diapers tend to hold up better across multiple classes than disposables. Avoid anything baggy, since it won't contain accidents and can affect a baby's movement in the water.

Not sure what your class requires? Check with your local front desk before your first session.

Every swimmer's journey starts here. Before strokes, before technique, a swimmer needs to feel safe and at ease in the water.

Our curriculum is built around four stages every swimmer moves through, no matter their age or starting point: Comfortable, Capable, Confident, and Competitive.

Want to know which stage your swimmer is on? Reach out to our team to get started!
