I love summer and spending long, hot, lazy days at the beach or lounging by a pool. What I don’t love is the stress around water with my little ones. Any and all parents know the stress I am talking about. The fear that we will be distracted just long enough for us to miss them sinking under the water. And that fear is validated.
Every year in the US, 3,572 people die from drowning. Nine hundred and forty-five of them are children. Children account for one out of four drowning deaths, making it the number one cause of injury related deaths among children ages 1-4. I definitely don’t want to be part of that statistic, which is why I signed my kids up at Goldfish Swim School in Aliso Viejo.
Goldfish Swim School believes that your child deserves to have an incredible swimming experience in the safest and most fun environment possible. Their swimming lessons are specially designed to make learning fun through guided play for beginners from 4 months to 12 years old, including infant swim lessons, toddler swim lessons, and more. They are committed to helping children make waves in life through award-winning swim lessons that offer experienced guidance in swim techniques as well as important information about water safety.
I have all 4 of my kids participating to prepare them for summer.
My older girls are gaining more skill and confidence. This has been so helpful for them both, but especially for my 8 year old, who always looked like she was struggling a bit. She now has the confidence needed to swim well and safely.
I have my younger 2 in the beginners lessons. And in the 2 short months we have attended (only 1 a week) their improvement has been phenomenal! I can’t imagine what they would be doing if I opted for the twice a week lessons.
My 5 year old, who was on the brink of swimming at the beginning, has taken to the lessons and is now swimming and has learned so many new skills and techniques. While my brand new 3 year old has impressed us all with what she has learned. I had no idea she would be doing as well as she is in the short amount of time she has been practicing. She truly smiles the entire half hour lesson there too. Makes my mama heart happy.
But, even better than all their progress… ok maybe not better, but equal to… is the fact that it is one of my kids favorite days of the week. They love going. It is so fun for them. Which is what Goldfish’s philosophy is: play is the way to learning. The instructors are kind and patient and really listen to what my kids want and incorporate that into the lesson.
