At Goldfish Swim School in West Palm Beach, your child’s safety is our top priority. Swimming is not only a fun activity but also an essential life skill. Whether your little one is just starting out or advancing their swimming skills, we are here to provide a safe and supportive environment for every swimmer.

Why Swimming Safety Matters

Every year, countless accidents happen in and around water. By teaching children the fundamentals of water safety, we help reduce the risk of drowning and empower them to enjoy the water confidently. Our trained instructors work with each child at their own pace, ensuring they learn proper swimming techniques and develop essential water safety skills.

Safety-First Swim Lessons

We integrate water safety into every lesson. Our highly trained instructors teach:

• Basic Water Safety Skills: Children learn the essential skills to protect themselves in the water, from floating to safe entry and exit techniques.
• Survival Swimming Techniques: Children are taught how to turn their backs to float and how to get to the pool’s edge if they need help.
• Breath Control and Stamina: With proper breathing techniques and stroke development, children become confident swimmers.
• Emergency Response Education: We also educate children and parents on how to respond to emergencies.

Our Goldfish Commitment to Safety

Safety isn’t just about skills in the pool. It’s a mindset that we foster throughout every aspect of our program. Here’s how we keep your child safe:

• Smaller Class Sizes: We keep our class sizes small to ensure individualized attention and close supervision for each swimmer.
• Heated Pools & Warm Water: Our pools are kept at a comfortable temperature, making learning to swim more enjoyable and less stressful for children, especially those starting young.
• Experienced Instructors: Our instructors are CPR-certified and trained in water safety. They are passionate about creating a positive learning experience while keeping your child safe.
• Parent and Family Involvement: We encourage parents to be involved in the learning process, offering plenty of opportunities to engage and monitor their child’s progress.

Tips for Parents to Promote Safe Swimming

While we provide the skills and knowledge needed in the pool, safety goes beyond the lesson. Here are some tips for parents to always ensure safe swimming:

1. Always Supervise: Never leave children unattended near water, even briefly. Active supervision is key to preventing accidents.
2. Know the Water Depth: Be aware of the water depth where your child swims and ensure they are comfortable in the water.
3. Use Proper Floatation Devices: For younger or less experienced swimmers, ensure they wear the right type of flotation devices, like life vests or floaties.
4. Teach Pool Rules: Reinforce basic pool safety rules, such as no running, pushing, or diving in shallow areas.
5. Stay Calm in Emergencies: Learn basic first aid and CPR, and always stay calm if an emergency arises. We offer CPR courses for parents and caregivers.
