Our staff, at Sheldon Acres, is dedicated to keeping your child safe, which is why we teach water safety in each and every level of swimming that we offer. It is well known that drowning is one of the most common causes of death in children. Instilling the knowledge of water safety in your children from the very start can not only help them to be safe when near or in water, but it could also assist them in saving the life of a friend or even a stranger.
One of the biggest water safety tips is to never swim alone, no matter how old you are. When dealing with kids specifically, be aware of your child’s swimming ability and the abilities of those that are accompanying them. For younger or less advanced swimmers, ensure that they are wearing a flotation device and that an experienced adult stays within reach of them at all times.
