While swimming safely is vital to your child's life skills, it's important to teach them in a manner that is fun and educational so that they can learn and become confident in their skills. The SwimKids teaching method will teach your kids the fundamentals of swimming at their own pace. They will leave the program feeling strong and confident every time they jump into the water.

Why is Water Safety so important?

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for infants and young children between the ages of 1-4.

Pool fences, supervision, and pool alarms are important parts of a necessary multi-layered approach to drowning prevention. However, traditional lines of defense break down and the over 4,000 drowning deaths per year bear a grim testament to the fact that traditional approaches are missing a key component: the child. The child is the most important part of a drowning prevention and 800 documented survival stories are proof that children can save themselves.

Even if your child has had swimming lessons, no child is drown-proof and there is absolutely no substitute for adult supervision.
