Life jackets are an important part of a strong water safety plan. The National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) recommends wearing a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved life jacket whenever spending time in or around natural bodies of water or while boating.

Life jackets should always be properly sized for the person wearing them and put on before entering the water. They can provide an added layer of protection when other safety measures may break down.

Not all flotation devices are the same. Arm bands, inner tubes, and inflatable toys are not safety devices and should never replace an approved life jacket or active supervision.

If you have questions about USCG approved life jackets, feel free to ask one of our swim instructors during your next visit.

☀️🌊 The temperatures are rising, which means more time around the water.

There’s no better time to get in the pool and start learning the skills that help individuals feel confident and safer in the water. Swim lessons help build strong habits, improve technique, and prepare anyone for all the pool days ahead.

What day of the week does your family swim? If your family isn't enrolled yet, now is a great time to get started.

S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise Step 9: Back-to-Front Rollover 🔄🏊‍♂️

The back-to-front rollover is an essential skill that helps anyone in the water stay balanced and in control while moving through the water.

This skill teaches how to smoothly transition from floating on their back to their front so they can continue swimming forward without stopping. Learning this movement helps people stay horizontal, maintain momentum, and keep progressing safely in the water.

💧👶 Is your babysitter water safety educated?

The National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) created a Caregiver Water Safety Checklist to help parents and caregivers understand the steps needed to keep kids safer in and around water.

We’ve partnered with NDPA to help raise awareness about drowning prevention and share resources that empower families and caregivers with the right knowledge.

Sometimes the biggest progress in swim lessons is the parent watching from the side of the pool. 💙

Many families start lessons feeling a little nervous about letting their kids be in the water without floaties or vests. Over time, those nerves turn into confidence as kids gain real skills and independence in the water.

Watching a child feel proud of themselves while a parent realizes “they’ve got this” is one of the best parts of the journey.
