Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)

Breath-holding contests? Yeah, let’s not.

They might seem like harmless fun, but breath-holding games in the water can be seriously dangerous, even for strong swimmers.

🚫 Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning.

🏊🏻‍♂️ At the Y, we teach that water safety isn’t just about swimming, it’s about smart choices. So, skip the contests, and keep the fun safe for everyone.

🐢 Little Swimmers 🐢

Ready to move beyond Little Bobbers? Little Swimmers (ages 2–3) encourages water confidence, independence, and skill development through guided play and exploration.

Little ones will start in the shallow lap pool with fun skill-building activities, then transition to the warm water pool to practice beginner water movements.
