SAFE START
Safe Start is a survival swim program that gives children the skills to survive. It is a comprehensive six-week program that involves 10-minute per day lessons, five days a week. Children as young as 6 months old work one-on-one with a certified Safe Start instructor to master the aquatic survival techniques. No child is ever thrown into the water. Instead, they are safely guided through the learning process, mastering the back float position, as well as resting and breathing. For children 12 months and older, Safe Start teaches a survival sequence of swimming, rolling to float, flipping back over, and continue swimming to safety. Once skilled, children practice these techniques fully clothed.

Call today to register your child or visit the SAFE START web site for more information about this life saving program.
