Our brand new Water Safety Week program is designed for grades 1-8 to help children build confidence and essential water skills before the start of summer. This fun, supportive class led by Janice Epstein, introduces children to the fundamentals of safe swimming while preparing them for summer fun!

 

A strong emphasis is placed on pool safety. Children will learn how to play safely in the water, the importance of listening to and understanding lifeguard instructions, and learn what to do if they need assistance or see a friend who needs assistance. Participants will learn how to enter and exit the water safely, practice floating on their back, and begin treading water to stay comfortably above the surface. Instructors will guide swimmers through introductory front glides to promote good body position, along with the basics of freestyle and breaststroke to develop early stroke technique.

 

Perfect for new swimmers or those looking to refresh their skills before camp starts, this program builds a strong foundation for a safe and enjoyable summer in the pool!
