Can my child wear a “floatie” to swim lessons?
No, we do not recommend the use of water wings or flotation suits since they give parents and new swimmers a false sense of security. Our facilities are carefully designed for safe instruction and our lessons are structured to teach your child to swim without any artificial aids. We do not believe that there is such a thing as “Drown-proofing.” We teach students safety skills and how to love and respect the water. Children should NEVER swim unsupervised no matter what level of instruction they have achieved. No one (even an adult) is ever completely safe from drowning.
