May is Water Safety Month!

Back to Articles

Formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88%. In honor of National Water Safety Month in May, Big Blue is here to help families have the safest summer yet by teaching kids the essential life skill of swimming, week by week. Sign your child up for weekly swimming lessons at Big Blue Naperville now to build confidence and safety skills in and around water.

Why Water Safety Matters

Every day, about ten people die from unintentional drowning. According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4 and the second-leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of 14 in the United States. For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency care for nonfatal submersion injuries. Severe brain damage, including long-term memory problems and learning disabilities, can also result from nonfatal drowning accidents in the water.

Big Blue Commitment to Safety

From the quality of our program to the individualized preparation your child gets to swim independently beyond our walls, safety is always top of mind at Big Blue. We teach floating, safety swimming, and ensuring kids can swim farther and farther distances to get them to safety. Continuous, weekly lessons ensure skill development, growing confidence, and endurance-building happen year-round.

Professional and caring instructors and a curriculum developed by world-class swimmers are foundational components of our swim school and set Big Blue apart from other programs.
