Wear clothes to swimming lessons this week! ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘•

This (June 13 - 20), we are making water safety the heart of our swimming lessons!

Weโ€™re encouraging all our learn-to-swim members to wear T-shirts and shorts to their lessons. Swimming in clothing allows members to experience what it feels like to be in the water while fully clothed, a vital skill for building confidence and understanding safety in unexpected scenarios.
