Drowning Prevention: S.A.F.E. Water Safety Program Available to Schools

We work to ensure that all children are safe in the water. As such, we have created a FREE prevention program that aims to reduce the number of drownings and raise awareness in schools. How do you do it? With water safety tips.

Drowning prevention: why water safety is essential

“Water safety is about learning good practices and survival reflexes” explains Olivier, founder of the Swim Stars swimming school

So when your kids are preschoolers, chances are they’ve had a visit from a firefighter to learn about fire safety, right? To ensure that your children are exposed to the same type ofwater safety education, Swim Stars has developed a FREE education program that focuses on tips for staying safe in and around the water.

Indeed, this program named S.A.F.E. for Safety, Learning, Training, Environment is intended for children aged 3 to 7 years.

We want to deploy S.A.F.E. to make water safety a priority,” explains Olivier Chazot, founder of Swim Stars. ” Because we think it’s a good way to make as many children and parents as possible aware of the risks of drowning and the simple solutions to avoid them.

I am S.A.F.E. and therefore I am safe!

Our instructors teach children the importance of safety in and around the water. Indeed, danger can come from anywhere.

Our coaches also use these same techniques to teach lifesaving and safe swimming skills during weekly swim lessons at the Swim Stars network pools.

Because water is everywhere: at the pool, at the beach, near a river – and even at home while bathing. ” It’s a problem that all children will have to face in their lifetime, whether they go to the lake or the pool with their parents,” says Olivier. ” Everyone has to deal with water at some point. This is especially true for young people, where the risks are high.
