In addition to teaching a fundamental health skill, swimming lessons provide the perfect exercise to dive into during the coronavirus pandemic! Data reported by the United States Swim School Association (USSSA) shows that private indoor swim school businesses that are operating are doing so without a single outbreak of COVID! Safety has always been, and continues to be, our #1 priority, with stringent protocols in place to reduce the risks presented by COVID-19. Learn more at BritishSwimSchool.com!

Today, we commemorate #MLKDay as a national day of service to impact our communities through outreach, connection and achieving common goals. Visit NationalService.gov/Serve to find ways to safely help your community during COVID-19!

Rewarding (adjective): the valuable, gratifying and satisfying experience of watching your child’s confidence grow as they develop a critical life skill.

Parents ask: how long will it take my child to learn to swim? While children progress at their own pace, developing water safety and swimming skills requires repetition, consistency and time. Winter swim lessons build the skills necessary for children to stay safe during the warm weather months spent at the pool!

New year, same amazing learn to swim program. Experience the British Swim School difference to learn why we’ve stood the test of time for nearly 40 years!

Did you know that pumpkins float? We want your children to float, too! Our program begins by teaching children basic survival techniques like floating on their back. Many drownings occur when children are not expected to be swimming - that’s where floating comes in, as it allows children to roll onto their back and rest at the water’s surface. While floating, children can breathe without obstruction or difficulty, yell out for help if they are unable to swim to safety, or rest until they’re able to propel themselves to the edge of the pool! Start learning life saving survival techniques today at BritishSwimSchool.com!

At British Swim School, we don’t just teach children how to swim. We teach survival skills, love and respect for the water, and foster abilities that can transfer to lifelong enjoyment. Parents we want to hear from you! What accomplishments are you most proud of? Tell us in the comments!

Second week in Poughkeepsie and more classes added! See you at the pool! #bsshv #goswim #swimlessons #watersurvival #poughkeepsiehamptoninnandsuites
