WATER SAFETY:

Playing in the water is FUN! When your family knows how to swim, it opens up opportunities for your family whether it be water parks, the ocean, the lake or even the bathtub! Water is all around us, knowing how to be safe in and around it is critical.

PREVENT DROWNING:

Accidental drowning is the #1 Cause of Unintentional Death in children ages 1-4 years old, resulting is 27% of fatalities. In children age 5-9 years old drowning is responsible for 13% of deaths. Even as they grow up, 10% of unintentional deaths are caused by drowning for kids aged 10-14.

​

The only way to prevent these deaths are to make sure that children know what the rules are in and around water, and know how to get to safety if they were to fall into a pool or body of water.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE:

Swimming is a lifelong activity and can lead to a child expanding their options when it comes to sports and activities. Colorado Springs Swim School is partnered with Full Armour Swim Team. Just because a child has finished swim lessons, does not mean they have to stop swimming. They can compete in swim meets, try diving, scuba, and much more.
