Teach your children water safety. Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water. As a parent or caregiver, it is necessary to equip your children with the skills they need to be confident in and around water. With this confidence, they can develop self-esteem, discover new ways to stay healthy, and build lifelong relationships.
The YMCA's Safety Around Water program teaches essential water safety skills, which will open a world of possibilities for all kids.
Safety Around Water (SAW)
Safety Around Water Classes consist of 5 sessions, which include:
- Exercises to help kids adjust to being in the water.
- Instruction in two skill sets kids can use if they unexpectedly find themselves in the water.
- Safety topics such as what to do if you see someone in the water who needs help.
- Fun activities that reinforce skills learned.
