Learning to swim significantly reduces the risk of drowning. Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of unintentional injury death for children under 14, with the highest rates among children ages 1-4. Whether or not you plan to head to the pool, water is all around us – in rivers, lakes, drainage ditches, bathtubs, and even large puddles. By equipping your child with the lifesaving skill of swimming, you’ll be opening doors to a lifetime of fun, fitness, and even employment opportunities!  And did you know, children can participate in swimming lessons before they can walk? Moms/Babes swim lessons provide water safety education and bonding opportunities that can last a lifetime.
