Drowning Prevention
We want to work with community members to adapt all survival swimming programs to be geographically and locally meaningful.
Our team will visit a community for 2 – 3 days to run aquatic and first aid lessons. Swimming survival lessons run for one and a half hours per group of swimmers. We are mainly limited by water temperature and teach a portion of wet and dry skills. Multiple lesson sets can be scheduled during our stay to meet different age and activity group needs in your community. Community driven programming.
Our team wants to partner with with your community in drowning prevention. Local knowledge and community priorities drive effective programming. Is your community interested in. Youth learning first aid skills or young children learning swimming skills? We work together with local community leaders to prevent drownings on a community basis.
