Water Safety

Comprehensive Water Safety Education

In addition to swim lessons, FLOAT emphasizes a comprehensive approach to water safety by teaching key aquatic safety practices. 

We cover essential topics such as recognizing water hazards, understanding weather-related risks, and knowing personal limitations to prevent accidents. Our programs also include lessons on how to use life vests properly, the importance of buddy systems, and the role of designated water watchers to ensure supervision.

We educate families on home water safety for pools and bathtubs, covering barrier and fencing requirements, emergency action plans, and CPR basics. Our holistic approach ensures that participants don’t just learn to swim but gain the full scope of skills and awareness needed to navigate aquatic environments safely and responsibly.

For more advanced participants, we provide training in basic rescue techniques, such as reaching and throwing assists, and guidance on when to call for professional help.
