Accidents can happen anywhere, and to swimmers of any skill level. At the public pool, in the backyard, or in the open water.

Formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88%! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends swim lessons begin at least as early as age 1. At HSC, we begin lessons starting at 4 months.
