Private Swim Lessons In Your Own Pool

During the warmer months, people of all ages flock to pools and beaches seeking respite and enjoyment. Sadly, the alarming reality is that an average of 3,700 individuals lose their lives to drowning each year in the U.S. Children under the age of four face the highest risk, with unintentional drowning ranking as the leading cause of death among this age group. 

 

Additionally, drowning stands as the third-leading cause of preventable death among children aged 5 to 19, with nearly 900 children falling victim to drowning accidents annually. Children’s tendency to splash around while remaining upright can result in a lack of awareness about the potential dangers of swimming pools, making them vulnerable when unsupervised. Considering that children can drown in as little as 20 seconds, it is crucial to equip them with the necessary swimming skills to prevent such tragedies.

 

The Importance of Comprehensive Swim Lessons:

 

At Baby Otter Swim School, we understand that providing ongoing swimming lessons is essential for water safety. We go beyond the typical once-a-week approach by offering an intensive five-day program that focuses on specific skills each day. This comprehensive approach ensures that children receive dedicated attention and learn essential techniques to keep them safe in and around the water.

 

The Five-Day Program: Building Skills and Confidence:

 

Our five-day swim program is designed to provide children with a structured and immersive learning experience. Each day has a specific focus, allowing children to develop their skills progressively and build confidence in the water. On the final day of the program, children undergo a full swimming test, which simulates a real-life scenario. They are taught to apply the Turn, Kick, Reach® technique as they swim to the edge of the pool after being thrown in. This comprehensive approach not only prepares children for emergency situations but also reinforces their ability to remain calm and take appropriate action.

 

The Benefits of Intensive Lessons:

 

Choosing Baby Otter Swim School and our five-day program offers several advantages over traditional swim lessons:

 

1. Rapid Skill Development: With lessons conducted five days in a row, children experience accelerated progress and develop crucial water safety skills more efficiently.
2. Continuous Learning: The consecutive days of instruction allow for continuous reinforcement of skills, ensuring that children retain what they have learned.
3. Enhanced Retention: The immersive nature of the program enhances skill retention as children have consistent exposure to swimming techniques and safety practices.
4. Real-Life Simulations: The full swimming test on the last day of the program provides children with a realistic experience and prepares them for unexpected situations.
