Safe Swim Swimming Lessons

05/21/2026

This Memorial Day weekend many will head to the lake or the river. If you take your children, please abstain from alcoholic beverages. Plan ahead and assign someone to watch them when they go in the water. Non swimmers should not go in by themselves!

Supervision is the first layer of protection when children are in or near water. 💧

Designate a Water Watcher to help ensure someone is always actively supervising. A Water Watcher should be free from distractions 📱, keep their eyes on the water at all times, and avoid conversations or activities that would take their attention away.

Be sure to rotate Water Watchers every 15–30 minutes ⏱️ to stay alert and focused.

One simple habit...intentional, distraction-free supervision can save lives 💙

Lesson 8 and she's going underwater for toys and loving it. She didn't like being submerged in the water at first, and would tell her mom I was drowning her, lol.Every lesson we'd go under until she became used to it. We made it fun and used toys as a distraction. Swim lessons should not be stressful. We want the kids to enjoy swimming!

👧 Talking to children about water safety should start early. These conversations can help children understand the dangers of the water and how to safely navigate it with water safety rules.

One important lesson to teach is to stay away from pool and spa drains. Drains are serious hazards. Hair, limbs, jewelry, and even swimsuits can get caught, creating a dangerous situation in seconds. ⚠️

Isn't she cute? Make sure to practice blowing bubbles in the bath tub before and after lessons. Teach kids to hum as they blow the bubbles underwater. Make it fun!

The elementary back stroke comes in handy when swimmers are exhausted and need to catch their breath! A prerequisite is the ability to float on their back, which she has already mastered. Each part of our lessons are taught with safety in mind!
