SafeSplash + SwimLabs Swim School - Fort Mill

Emergencies around water happen quickly. Staying prepared is an important part of staying safe. The National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) highlights emergency readiness as a key layer of protection for families around water.

Start by making sure help can be reached quickly. Keep a phone near the pool so 911 can be called immediately if needed. It’s also important that adults and caregivers know CPR with rescue breaths, since immediate action can make a critical difference in a water emergency.

Having rescue equipment, a first aid kit, and posted CPR instructions nearby can also help ensure the right tools and information are available when every second counts. Another important reminder: if a child is missing, check the water first and call 911 right away.

These simple steps can make a life-saving difference.

Learning to walk takes time. Learning to swim does too. 🏊‍♂️

Every swimmer develops skills at their own pace. With time in the water and supportive instruction, those small steps turn into strong, confident swimming.

As we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, SafeSplash will be closed on Monday, May 25 for Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

We’ll reopen for regular lessons on Tuesday, May 26.

Wishing all of our swim families a safe and meaningful holiday weekend ❤️🤍💙

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.

Some of the biggest swim wins don’t happen all at once.
They happen lesson by lesson… skill by skill… smile by smile. 💙
⠀
We’re so proud of the hard work, confidence, and progress our swimmers build every time they step into the water. From learning new skills to reaching exciting milestones like leveling up, every achievement matters.

Keep showing up. Keep growing. Keep believing in yourself. 🌊

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.

May is Water Safety Month 💙

Week 2 focuses on Water Competency — and one of the simplest safety habits is also one of the most important:

Never swim alone.

Whether it’s the pool, lake, beach, or backyard water play, swimmers should always have a buddy and a grown-up actively watching. Water safety is about building smart habits, confidence, and awareness every time your family is around water.

A few reminders for safer swim days:
💦 Always swim with a buddy
💦 Ask a grown-up to watch
💦 Wear a life jacket when needed
💦 Know your limits

Small choices today can help create safer moments tomorrow. 🌊
