Whether your child swims like a fish or has just been introduced to the water, safety is always a concern for parents. So it\u2019s no surprise that swimming lessons are a big priority for families in our Colorado communities. At British Swim School Flatirons our unique program teaches water safety and swimming skills to kids of all ages and abilities in a warm and welcoming environment in Westminster that makes it fun to learn.<\/p>\n

When your child is in the water in Westminster, follow these important water safety tips from British Swim School Flatirons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Infants, toddlers, and any child that does not have strong swimming skills should have \u201ctouch supervision\u201d, meaning they are within arm\u2019s length of a supervising adult.<\/li>\n
  2. Teach and enforce water safety rules in Westminster, including no running, no pushing, and never swimming alone.<\/li>\n
  3. Keep a safety ring with a rope next to the pool at all times.<\/li>\n
  4. Have a phone charged and nearby in case of emergency.<\/li>\n
  5. Know the basics of CPR and first aid.<\/li>\n
  6. Keep a lifejacket on your child at all times when they ride in a boat.<\/li>\n
  7. For backyard pools, install a pool alarm and four-sided fence that has a self-latching and self-closing gate.<\/li>\n
  8. Never use inflatable toys or \u201cfloaties\u201d as flotation devices \u2013 they can deflate or slip off easily and give a false sense of security.<\/li>\n
  9. Supervise your child around small bodies of water, including bathtubs, water buckets, and rain barrels and empty them when not in use.<\/li>\n
  10. Enroll your child in swimming lessons in the Westminster area that teach water safety and survival skills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
