As I am sure you remember, I was lucky enough to be able to be a part of SwimWays Swim Team ambasssador program. I am very excited to bring you information about the ‘National Learn to Swim Day‘.
National Learn To Swim Day is Saturday, May 18, 2013. This is the second annual ‘National Learn to Swim Day’. This day is all about educating parents and children about water safety. National Learn to Swim day is an opportunity for families to learn about the importance and benefits of learning to swim before Memorial Day Weekend and the start of the summer season.
Swimways encourages all families to participate in this day your own way. That could mean a variety of things: enrolling your child in local swimming instruction, hosting a group swimming lesson, or discovering the tools that Swimways provides families.
Swimways Tools:
- Swim Steps learn-to-swim program
- Online water safety resources
Mario Vittone, whom is a former Coast Guard helicopter rescue swimmer and water safety expert, will be working closely with Swimways to provide free swimming safety resources to families. He will be giving expert advice on topics and challenges related to teaching children to swim. Families will also be able to download an event guide, poster, coloring sheets, and accomplishment certificates all on the site.
About Swimways’ Swim Steps Program:
It is a 3 step program that has colorful swim-training aids specially designed to help parents teach kids to swim at home.
- The first step is designed to introduce and comfortably support babies in the water.
- The second step products give children the ability and freedom to explore as they develop confidence and learn to balance and paddle (Very important pre-swimming skills).
