Why Children in Virginia Beach Must Learn to Swim

Young child learning to swim

Learning to swim can reduce the risk of drowning by 88 percent for one to four-year-old’s who take formal swim lessons. For this reason, safety experts encourage everyone to know the basics of swimming. Specialized survival swimming lessons, such as those offered by British Swim School, are a step toward keeping children safe. It’s great to enjoy time in and around the water, but it’s also important to remember that water can be dangerous, and accidents happen in an instant. Thankfully, learn to swim programs can play a vital role in protecting children against drowning!
