Have A Safe Summer With Survival Swim
Lessons available for all ages

Goodyear, AZ: It’s July and that means it’s hot, kids are out of school, and the pools and waterparks are all open and ready for some summer fun! That also means it’s time to assess your family’s water safety preparedness.

Did you know that most of the population cannot swim? According to the American Red Cross, roughly 40% of people surveyed do not possess all five skills required to swim safely. Globally, that number jumps to 55%. Every day, about ten people in the US die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States. Survival Swim can help you and your family not become a statistic.

“Survival Swim is founded by our passion to teach others how to swim safe and survive. We believe swimming is a survival skill you have to learn first in order to be safe and have fun in and around water.,” says Jaime Clarke, founder.

Swimming is great for recreation and exercise, but we believe that survival skills are vital to worry-free water activities. Students as young as 6 months old can learn how to survive and self-rescue in a water emergency – which can significantly reduce the risk of infant drowning. Our lessons happen in a safe, controlled environment, and rely on proven techniques that help learners of all ages and abilities to become confident swimmers in a fun-filled setting. 

And Survival Swim isn’t just for the pool – nearly one-third of child drownings happen at home, with most of those incidents occurring in the bathtub. Survival Swim teaches infants and toddlers to survive an encounter with any depth of water, from the shallowest bathtub to the deepest lake.

If you have a child between the ages of six months and four years old, you can use the Survival Swim method to teach your baby life-saving swimming skills. And Survival Swim isn’t just for babies. These are skills that can be used to teach anyone how to swim — even adults.

Don’t live in the Phoenix, AZ area? Using the Survival Swim App anyone can be taught basic swimming and floating skills to help prevent drowning. No pool required! Start in the bathtub and teach non-swimmers how to hold their breath, open their eyes under water, and float on their back. 

“My 3 and 5 year old are completely safe around water and know exactly what to do if they were to fall in,” says Bridgett B., a client, “I can’t thank Survival Swim enough for that peace of mind.”
