According to Stop Drowning Now, drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, with the highest drowning rates among children 1–4 years, followed by children 5–9 years. Thankfully, most drownings are preventable, but kids must learn to be safe in and around the water. Swimming classes for kids in Boston are the ideal way to introduce swimmers to water safety, survival techniques, and swimming strokes!
About our Swimming Classes for Kids in Boston
Local lakes, ponds, and proximity to the Cape Cod Bay and Atlantic Ocean provide us with wonderful opportunities to enjoy the water, but it can be dangerous if not used safely. That’s why many families turn to British Swim School for our emphasis on water safety and survival! Our curriculum-based program teaches a foundation of water survival before introducing more advanced swimming techniques. This ensures our students have a strong baseline of safety before beginning learn-to-swim lessons.
While swimming classes are conducted in small groups (6 student maximum), our goal-oriented curriculum sets clearly defined goals for each class level and allows students to advance individually and at their own pace.
Here’s a brief overview of our swimming classes from beginner to advanced:
- Tadpole: Offered to children 3 – 36 months, our parent-assisted Tadpole program introduces new swimmers to the water for the very first time!
- Swimboree: Offered to children 3 – 36 months, our Swimboree program builds on the skills taught in Tadpole classes and introduces beginner water survival skills through a structured program of songs, games, and fun!
- Seahorse: Offered to children 18 – 36 months, our Seahorse program introduces advanced water survival skills, following the same structure as the Swimboree and Tadpole classes!
- Starfish: Offered to children 3+ years, our Starfish program is geared toward water acclimation and aims to build confidence and self-esteem.
