The Season of Giving is Almost Here

The season of giving is almost here which makes it the perfect time to start thinking about the little ones in your life. Drowning remains the leading cause of unintentional death in children aged 1 to 4, so why not make this year the one you give the gift of swimming lessons? 

Survival Swimming in Katy

At Texas Swim Academy, we understand the importance of teaching children as young as 6 months old how to swim. According to the Texas Department of Children and Family Services, there have been nearly 70 drowning deaths to date this year alone. Last year, there were 80 pediatric drowning deaths, while 2019 brought 87 drowning deaths. This is an epidemic that can be helped with the right layers of protection in place. 

We continue to be advocates for the right swimming lessons, offering our families a program that works through effective one-on-one lessons. When it comes to babies 6 months to a year old and survival swim lessons, they do not have the stamina for a 30-minute private lesson. An extensive 15-minute lesson will suffice.

During the private 15-minute lessons, your child is getting the attention they deserve and the kind of instruction that will help them flourish. Our child development-based program allows kids to grow throughout their lessons, so we are not pushing them to keep pace with others, rather allowing them to become successful survival swimmers of their own accord. 

The good news? After 20 lessons, most children are well on their way to swimming and floating independently. But that doesn’t mean lessons should end there. It’s proven that continuous lessons make a difference and further enhance a child’s skill and adaptation to the water. The more time you spend in the water, the more confident you’ll become. And that’s our goal — confident swimmers who can not only perform the right techniques should an aquatic accident occur, but also become proficient swimmers who have a love of being in the water.
