Water safety is best taught at a young age when children are less afraid of the dangers of water. #MrMikeSwimming

Having a pool, pond, spa, or hot tub on your property is a tremendous responsibility when it comes to safety. Hot tubs may feel great to adults, but kids can become dangerously overheated in them and can even drown so it's best not to let them use them at all. Having a fence (one that goes directly around the pool or spa) between the water and your house is the best safety investment you can make and will help prevent pool-related drownings. #MrMikeSwimming

Swimming is a full body work out. No muscle group left behind! #MrMikeSwimming

We're excited to get this summer started with the 2019 swim lessons. We know a lot of people are waitlisted this year and will continue to fill spaces as they come available. Thanks for choosing #MrMikeSwimming

Anyone who's been to Mr. Mike's Swimming classes knows what this means!

Summer is in full swing! #MrMikeSwimming

Water parks can be a lot of fun for kids, as long as you keep safety in mind. Before you go, make sure the park is monitored by qualified lifeguards. Once there, read all posted signs before letting your child on any rides (many rides have age, height, weight, or health requirements, and each has a different depth of water). Teach your kids to follow all rules and directions, such as walking instead of running and always going down the water slide in the right position feet... first and face up. Know which rides are appropriate for your child's age and development. For example, wave pools can quickly go from calm to rough, putting even a good swimmer in over his or her head. Younger children can be intimidated by older kids' splashing and roughhousing. #MrMikeSwimming

Jump. Doggy paddle. Swim!
