Is it just a new standard for swimming lessons?
Not at all. Swim to Survive is different from swimming lessons. Swim to Survive teaches the basics needed to survive an unexpected fall into deep water.
The Society strongly encourages parents to enroll their children in swimming lessons. In fact, the Society’s Swim program includes the Swim to Survive standard.
Isn’t it better to be a strong swimmer?
Yes! Swim to Survive deals with the basics, it’s not a replacement for swimming lessons. Everyone should learn to swim!
