A Very Important Message From Our Founder and CEO, Rita Goldberg

May Is Water Safety Awareness month. It’s the month where the dangers of pools, lakes, canals, oceans and even bathtubs become headline news. This has always seemed quite ridiculous to me! Not because I dislike the exposure that the media gives us, but because, I want to ask the question “When or in which month do pools, lakes, canals, oceans and even bathtubs NOT become a poterntial danger?? When should our parents NOT be aware of these dangers?” To me, it is like saying “Drive carefully in May, but don’t worry about that the rest of the year!”

We at British Swim School have dedicated all our efforts to year round safety. We know that drowning happens year round and that lakes, canals and oceans may go cold in the winter, but they do not disappear. We know that pools remain in yards and that children take baths every day. So, while we definitely support the exposure given to the teaching of water safety in May, we owe it to all parents, past, present and future to educate! Teach them that water safety is not monthly or a seasonal awareness, it has to be maintained year round. We must teach them that learning to survive and swim gives their children a fighting chance in a water incident. We must remind them that children do not learn and retain survival skills and that lessons should be continuous and not sporadic. Our job, as one of the leading Swim Schools in the USA, is not only to teach survival and swimming, but is to help to educate all parents that May is possibly the beginning, but certainly not the end of Water Safety Awareness. Only then are we fulfilling our mission!
