Adults aspire to SWIM more than any other activity…. yet 37% cannot SWIM the length of a pool.”  (USMS & The CDC – Center for Disease Control and Prevention) There are more than 18 million swimming pools and hot tubs in the USA – and our planet is about 71% water! So swimming is a life-saving skill you need to have as an adult. Sadly, every day about 10 people die from drowning. The majority of unintentional drowning victims are adults. Also, research shows that children of adults who don’t know how to swim, are at a greater risk of not learning to swim as well.

The purpose of the Swimming Saves Lives Foundation is to ENCOURAGE ADULTS TO SWIM. (USMS.org)

 It’s not too late to learn how to swim! Please give us a call to learn more & connect with Julie! 🙂
