Being “Water Safe”
I have been a USA Swimming Foundation Ambassador for 10 years. That means that I have travelled all across the country to spread the message in any way, shape, or form that SWIMMING LESSONS ARE IMPORTANT! If you take nothing away from this blog post or only read the blurb hear me out: 10 people drown each and every day in the US and 2 of them are children. It is the leading cause of injury related death in children aged 1 to 4 and the second leading cause in kids under the age of 14(1). The good news is that formalized swim lessons were associated with an 88% reduction in the risk of drowning in children(2).
Junior Otters
Junior Otters is a place for those kids who aren’t ready for the big time commitment of joining a true team but are still interested in developing their skills in the water. Practices are 45 minutes long and are either three days a week (M/W/F) or two days a week (Tu/Th). Some students have even signed up for both sessions for a total of five practices a week because they loved it!
2021 Calendar
Hello all! We just wanted to share with you that our 2021 Lesson Calendar is now active and you can find it below or at the bottom of our group lesson page. We are thankful that California deemed Swim Lessons essential and we couldn’t agree more!
Year In Review
It is January, which means we at ACSC are getting prepared for a summer of fun by the pool and a whole lot of swimming lessons. But before we come out with our proposed schedule (pending pandemic restrictions, of course) we thought it might be nice to take a moment to reflect on the past year.
