Water Safety in Boston: There's No Wrong Time to Learn!

Swimming is a terrific way to get fit and have fun. However, spending time in or around the water can be extremely dangerous for those without water safety training, since it only takes a second for things to go tragically wrong. Being armed with the proper skills and know-how could save your life and the lives of others. British Swim School Greater Boston offers a range of classes for swimmers of all ages and abilities to learn essential water survival skills that can make the water a fun and safe place for all.

How Water Safety Skills Save Lives

When it comes to water survival, one of the first and most important things is knowing the basics of water safety. Things like never swimming alone and using life jackets when boating are second-nature to experienced swimmers but may not be as intuitive for beginners.

However, even the most water-conscious swimmers can sometimes find themselves in difficult situations. That’s why it’s so crucial for everyone in your family to learn the basics of water survival. While there’s no wrong time to start learning, just like with any skill: the earlier, the better!

We offer a wide range of classes for little ones, starting with fun mommy-and-me classes through to more advanced classes for water savvy big kids. All of our classes are led by friendly, knowledgeable instructors that are keen to help students improve at their own pace.

Some life-saving water safety skills we teach our little swimmers in the Boston area include:

• Assisted and unassisted floating
• Pushing off from the wall
• Rolling over
• Jumping in from the deck
• Treading water
• Submersion
• Flutterkick

As students progress through the levels, they will learn all the fundamental strokes including backstroke, front stroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. With each new class, swimmers can work to increase their speed and distance as well.
