5 Tips for Water Safety, plus Giveaway for 4 Swim Lessons at SwimLabs OC

Two weeks ago my children and I had the chance to check out the new SwimLabs OC located in Lake Forest, California.  SwimLabs OC is more than your average swim school!  They begin with the assumption that the better you can see your stroke, the faster you can improve it.  Through a high tech video system installed over the pool, swimmers receive instant feedback on how they are progressing in their lessons.

From young kids who are just learning to swim to competitive swimmers who need an added edge, SwimLabs OC has completely modernized the classic swim lesson.

SwimLabs OC is often the place that “works” for kids, when other lessons haven’t.  They are well known for working with and customizing swim lessons for special needs children.  They are passionate about their love for swimming and dedicated to helping kids be water safe, faster.  That means individual attention and small warm pools where kids are engaged and having fun with highly experienced adult instructors.

SwimLabs OC offers:

• Private lessons
• Group lessons
• Mom and Me
• Basic Water Safety
• Birthday parties
• Swim team nights
• Competitive analysis for advance swimmers with an email video

As a parent, I personally liked three important aspects of the swim school:

1. Each pool is only 3 feet deep.  My daughter can stand in this type of pool.  When taking swimming lessons elsewhere, I find that the majority of the time, the coaches are constantly having to remind kids to stay on the pool steps.  This is important, but it wastes a lot time.  Instead at SwimLabs OC, if my daughter goes off the step, she can immediately stand right back up.

2. The SwimLab OC staff is very kind and friendly.  My children took to them right away.

3. I can watch my children’s swimming lessons on a large overhead television while in the waiting room.  Now I know if my kids are goofing off or not during their lessons.  Time is money, right!

SwimLabs OC stresses the importance of following these 5 tips for water safety:

1. Learn To Swim!   This is critical and can save so many lives per year.
2. Do not swim alone.  Always have a buddy with you.
3. Be aware of the ‘too’s ‘ —  too cold,  too tired,  too far away from safety,  too much sun,  too much exertion
4. Always use a feet first entry when getting into the water
5. Swim in areas supervised by a lifeguard.
