Children’s Swimming Lessons in Germantown: Learn Lifesaving Survival Skills

The water can be great fun for children, but it also brings a host of dangers! Devastatingly, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional death for children 1 to 14 years of age. The good news: children’s swimming lessons in Germantown can help to reduce the risk of drowning by as much as 88%!

At British Swim School of Central Maryland, our program is designed to protect children from drowning and near-drowning incidents while fostering abilities that translate to a lifelong enjoyment of the water. In addition to water acclimation and traditional stroke development, our children’s swimming lessons emphasize survival swim techniques that can save a child’s life if they ever find themselves in the water unexpectedly.

About Our Children’s Swimming Lessons in Germantown

At British Swim School of Location, we offer a variety of children swimming lessons for all ages, abilities, and experience levels. Unlike many of the “traditional” swim schools in Location, our program emphasizes survival swim techniques at every level, which can save a child’s life if they happen to fall into an unguarded body of water. We take water safety seriously, but we also make learning fun which we know helps to improve retention and build a lifelong love of the water. Upon enrollment, children are placed into classes based on their age and skill level, with clear goals outlined for each level. Children then move to the next level once they’ve mastered the goals of the preceding class.

Some of the skills we teach in our children swimming lessons include:

  • Water acclimation
  • Confidence and self-esteem to build independence in the water
  • Beginner and advanced water survival techniques
  • Beginner and advanced strokes on their backs and fronts
  • Breathing coordination
  • Starts and turns for each stroke

For more detailed information about our program and the goals of each class level, please visit our Programs page!
