September’s Tree of New Beginnings!

A new school year is full of fresh starts, new adventures, and so much to look forward to!

Maybe it’s meeting a new teacher, seeing friends, learning something new, starting a new activity—or reaching a new goal in the pool!

Stop by our tree, grab a pencil or crayon, and share what YOU are excited about this school year.

Here’s to new beginnings! ✏️

Summer may be ending, but swimming season never has to.

Just like reading, math, or sports, swimming improves with consistent practice. Year-round lessons help children build confidence, strengthen technique, reinforce water safety habits, and continue progressing instead of spending weeks relearning skills after a long break.

Swimming isn't just another extracurricular activity—it's a lifelong skill that helps keep children safer in and around the water. The CDC recognizes basic swimming and water safety skills as an effective drowning prevention strategy.

Keep your child's progress moving forward this school year.

August Skill of the Month: Supported Back Float!

Learning to float on their back is one of the foundational skills we work on in Level 1.

With support from their instructor, swimmers practice relaxing in the water, keeping their head back and body in the proper position, while learning to breathe comfortably.

These early skills are building blocks for both water safety and future swimming skills.

Keep practicing, Level 1 swimmers—you’re building a strong foundation one float at a time!

🏊 Inside Level 1: Water Exploration

Every swimmer starts somewhere, and at Kids First, that journey begins with confidence.

Level 1 is where children learn to feel comfortable in the water while building the foundational skills they'll use throughout their swimming journey. Swimmers practice breath control, supported floating, beginning kicking, safe entry and exit, and basic pool safety before progressing to more advanced skills.

This month, we're highlighting breath control—one of the most important skills in learning to swim. Learning to blow bubbles and control breathing helps children become more comfortable underwater and prepares them for every skill that comes next.

Follow along each month as we take you Inside the Kids First Curriculum and show you exactly how we help swimmers build confidence, skills, and water safety—one level at a time.

Back to school starts at the pool!

Swimming builds more than water safety—it helps children develop skills they use every day in the classroom and beyond.

- Listening skills
- Following directions
- Confidence
- Independence

Every lesson is an opportunity to grow both in and out of the water. As your child heads back to school, know they're building life skills with every splash.

Here's to a safe, confident, and successful school year!
