Safety is first—that’s one of the advantages of learning in your own pool. Home swim lessons enable swimmers to learn water safety skills and how to face danger in their own pool.

Here in St. Louis we are surrounded by water, and it is an opportunity to have fun, but also potential for danger.

According to the CDC.gov, formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of children drowning by up to 88 percent. This is crucial for parents with children ages 1 – 4 because that is the age range that children are most at risk. I focus heavily on water safety and teaching a child how to turn around and swim back to the wall after a fall into the water.

I do start teaching at 5 months old.

During lessons, I will focus on real-life situations to teach your child to consciously use the skills he or she has learned.
