Why teach your child?
In 2009 Ruth Brenner and her colleagues conducted a research project at the National Institute of Health to investigate the connection between swimming lessons and drowning. They discovered that participation in formal swimming lessons provided and 88% reduction in risk of drowning in children ages 1-4 years. They reported that swim lesson “should be considered for inclusion as part of a complete prevention program”. Can you put a value on your child's safety or your peace of mind?
Additional data comes from research at the German Sports College in Cologne. These studies demonstrate that swim lessons for babies and toddlers don’t just save lives but they can accelerate their development physically, intellectually and emotionally. As compared with a control group which did not take year-round lessons, the children who swam consistently from infancy were significantly stronger and more coordinated. The children also scored higher for intelligence and problem-solving, which carried over into excellence in academic achievement. Emotionally, they were found to be more self-disciplined with greater self-control and an increased desire to succeed. They rated higher in self-esteem and were more independent and comfortable in social situations than the control groups.
These are just a few reasons for enrolling your child in SOS swim lessons.

What is Survival Swimming?
Survival swimming is a last line of defense. Should all other safety precautions fail, teaching your child these skills gives them a chance for survival. Swimming, by definition, is the ability to move through the water independently. Survival swimming incorporates being able to breathe when needed. Many programs teach children to lift his/her head to breathe. This motion takes a significant amount of strength and energy and is, therefore, very difficult to maintain. Using this head lift will cause a child to fatigue very quickly. The better alternative is to teach a child how to attain and maintain a back float. This position allows for rest and unlimited access to air. SOS Swim School teaches children the aquatic survival skills to potentially save him/herself in an emergency situation. Most importantly, the SOS student will have practiced all the SURVIVAL SWIMMING skills while fully clothed. ISR
