Leading Swim School Promotes Year-Round Water Safety Education, Suggests Family Members Near and Far Gift Swim Lessons as a Fun, Unexpected Experience for Children Lasting a Lifetime
TROY, Mich., Dec. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With temperatures dropping and the holidays just around the corner, Goldfish Swim School reminds parents the importance of water safety throughout the year – even in the winter months. According to the National Safety Council, even when it's cold outside, more than 150 people across the country lose their lives due to drowning each month. Drownings are also the number one cause of injury-related death among children ages 1 to 4, taking the lives of three children in the United States every day.
According to board-certified and o-fish-al pediatrician of Goldfish Swim School, Dr. Molly O'Shea of Birmingham Pediatrics + Wellness Center, parents and children must prioritize water safety year-round to be ready whenever they will be in or around water - including frozen water.
"Just because it's winter time, it doesn't mean it's safe to let up on water safety precautions," says Dr. Molly. "With activities like family holiday getaways to a warmer destination, weekend trips to indoor water parks or ice-skating outings at the nearby lake or pond, parents and their children must remain vigilant, regardless of weather."
To help parents, Dr. Molly suggests these top winter water safety tips to combat drowning occurrences:
Winter Water Safety Tips:
"While following water safety tips during the winter is good practice, it's also a perfect time for children to be gifted life-enriching activities, like swim lessons, for holiday presents," said Dr. Molly, "This helps them build confidence and develop new skills before they expect to use them when it warms up in the spring."
For the holiday shopping season, Goldfish Swim Schools suggests skipping the usual toys for a child's gift, and instead giving a fun activity that's an experience, unexpected and will last not only all year-round, but for a lifetime – swim lessons!
"A golden gift for aunts, uncles and grandparents living near and far to give, gifting swim lessons can make gift-givers feel good, knowing when their little family member unwraps the gift of swim lessons, they're also unwrapping life lessons, play time with friends and memories," said Chris McCuiston, CEO of Goldfish Swim School. "Most importantly, they're unwrapping the gift of water safety — giving parents the priceless gift of peace of mind."
Holiday Swim Lesson Packages are available by visiting participating Goldfish Swim School locations and online.
