Milton, MA
At British Swim School City of Boston, our mission is to protect families from water-related incidents and drowning accidents through education and water safety awareness. In addition to traditional stroke development, our children’s swimming lessons teach important and potentially lifesaving water survival skills. Devastatingly, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional death for children under 15 years of age, but formal swimming lessons can help reduce the risk of drowning by nearly 90%. In addition to a national Lifeguard and First Aid Certification, all of our Instructors have completed our intensive British Swim School Instructor training to effectively teach swimming strokes and water safety techniques to children.
Teaching water safety techniques is a focal point of our curriculum-based program. We incorporate water safety skills at each level, so children are constantly learning as they progress from class to class. Children are placed in swimming lessons based on their age and ability and must demonstrate a mastery of the previous level’s goals to progress to the next level.
Our children’s swimming lessons teach:
- 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
Benefits of Children’s Swimming Lessons in Boston
Water activities are easily accessible for families throughout Greater Boston and New England – whether frolicking in it, skimming across it, or relaxing nearby. Teaching children to swim can lead to a lifelong enjoyment of the water, as well as many other benefits including safety, social development and more!
- Safety: Most importantly, children must learn to swim to improve safety in or around the water. While other precautions can be taken to protect children from the water, swimming is the final layer for safety. While learning to swim should not be seen as “drown proofing”, it can help to reduce the risk of drowning significantly!
- Fitness: Swimming is a low-impact activity, providing aerobic activity with minimal stress on joints. When a child learns to swim, they learn a skill that can be used to improve fitness throughout their life.
- Social Development: Children learn social skills while learning to swim in group lessons. Our 4 – 6 child class sizes provide a fun environment for kids to share, take turns and be social with other children from nearby Greater Boston neighborhoods. While watching other students, they learn to wait their turn and the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
- Lifelong Skill and Enjoyment: With a knowledge of water safety and swimming technique, children will be able to safely enjoy all water-based activities throughout Great Boston and New England and all of the other benefits swimming has to offer. For parents, knowing that their child has strong swimming skills will increase their ability to enjoy time around water.
