Education: the key to drowning prevention

As moms, we constantly worry about our children’s safety and well-being. We childproof our homes, select the healthiest foods, and carefully choose schools that will nurture their developing minds.

This makes choosing the right swim lessons as important as any other decision we make for our children. Here are the dos and don’ts when looking for the right swim program to ensure your child not only learns to swim, but more importantly, learns to survive an aquatic accident.
