Water competency doesn’t happen overnight. 💧

That’s why the time to start swimming lessons is now, well ahead of the summer holidays. ☀️

Early, consistent lessons help children build skills that matter when they’re in or around water. 😃

There’s a difference between a child who can swim and a child who is truly water safe.

Water‑safe children can stay calm, float and manage themselves in real‑world water... and those skills are built through swimming lessons.

Swimming lessons close the gap, so families can enjoy time in the water together. 💙

🗣️ Helen Marney, Director of Community Participation and Health at Swim England, highlights the importance of swimming lessons giving children the skills to be safe in the water, she said: "Every summer, families head to the water together, and every summer, tragedies occur that could have been prevented. We want to change that.

Swimming lessons are not just a childhood milestone, they are one of the most important things a parent can do to keep their child safe and not just in the pool, but on holiday, at the beach and around open water.

If your child is not yet in lessons, start now. If they are, keep them going, water confidence doesn't happen overnight, but when it does, everything changes for your child, and for your whole family." 💙
