Youth Group Swim Lessons
Why sign my child up?
According ot the American Red Cross the best thing anyone can do to stay safe in, on and around the water is to learn to swim. This helps emphasize why it is so important that every child learns to swim. Our classes not only teach age appropriate aquatic skills but every lesson includes a safety topic.
Click here for an article that discusses the association between swim lessons and drowning.
Is my child ready for lessons?
Dr. Stephen Langendorfer from the American Red Cross Advisory Council on First Aid, Aquatics, Safety and Preparedness says "A child's individual personalilty and life experiences are as important as chronologic age in regards to individual aquatic readiness. For example, a child with a backyard pool may be ready earlier than the same age child who has had little contact with water." For Dr. Langendorfer's full article on this topic, click here.
