Swimming Classes in Westminster: 6 Skills Your Child Will Learn 

Did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death in kids under five? Did you also know that it’s completely preventable? With facts like these in mind, enrolling your child in swimming classes in the Westminster, CO area simply makes sense. They’ll learn vital life skills – and lifesaving skills – all while having fun in the pool.

In fact, at British Swim School Flatirons we start teaching water safety and survival as early as three months old and continuously build on lessons as each student grows and develops. Some of the skills our students learn through swimming classes at our two Westminster locations include:

  • Entry and exit. Pool safety isn’t just about swimming; it also involves knowing how to properly enter and exit the pool.
  • Blowing bubbles. Blowing bubbles is a vital building block in learning to swim. Once your child knows how to blow bubbles – and stop water from getting up their nose and into their mouths – they can safely learn to go underwater.
  • Going under. With swimming classes at our Westminster-area swim school, you can rest easy that we’ll always take a safe and gentle approach when teaching your child this skill.
  • Back float. Back floating is vital for water survival and safety. Kids can use it when they get too tired and need a rest. It also provides them an opportunity to call for help if they get into trouble in the water – all while conserving energy and remaining calm.
  • Treading water. If your child ever gets stuck in the water for a period of time, treading water can save their life. With this skill, children can stay afloat and keep their ahead above water – so they can breathe – until someone can help them.
  • Safe behavior. When kids get around a pool or water, they naturally want to play. But it’s also important that they follow certain rules, such as not running on the pool deck. They’ll learn about these behaviors – and many others – during swimming classes in our Westminster swim school.
