Safety By Choice...Not By Chance

Drowning is SWIFT & SILENT
There is NO Cry for Help

•Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death for children ages 1-4.
• Drowning is the #2 cause of accidental death for children ages 4-14.
• For every 1 child that has a fatal drowning, there are 5 more that survive, and 50% suffer complications such as brain damage.
• Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death for those with Autism, and they are 160 times more likely to drown.

Prevention is Possible

Our Philosophy​:

  • Learning to swim is a critical life skill. It could save your life! Being comfortable in the water is so much fun, and it opens doors to other enjoyable activities!
  • Swim lessons, either in a group or private setting, should focus on safety first, then skills, and the skills should be taught using the proper technique from the very beginning.
  • We do not teach from the deck. We're in the water for the entire lesson.
  • Every student deserves dignity and respect regardless of age or skill level. We do not believe in dunking students or pushing them into the water against their will. We will always go underwater with our students until they feel safe doing it on their own.
