At British Swim School, we offer Survival Week for one week each quarter.
Each Survival Week, we encourage our students to wear additional clothing on top of their swimsuits so that they can become familiar with how to react in a water emergency. The reality is that when a water accident or drowning incident happens, people are not wearing their bathing suits and goggles. Every student participates as they experience a potentially life-threatening situation in a safe and controlled setting.
In a word: safety. As we teach students water survival techniques, one important lesson is learning to navigate the water while fully clothed. After all, anyone who accidentally falls into a pool may not be dressed for it. Understanding the weight of their clothes underwater and how their body moves in them, brings a whole new level of appreciation and skill.
After completing Survival Week training, our students will know:
At British Swim School, we want our students’ reactions to a frightening water situation to be automatic. Reiterating and repeating movements and skills will make it natural for them.
