Never dive into the deep.
Swim with a buddy, all of the time,
Even if you’re swimming fine.”

“Children need to learn to swim … New evidence shows that children agegs one to four may be less likely to drown if they have had some formal swimming instruction. A parent’s decision about starting swimming lessons or water-survival skills training at an early age must be individualized on the basis of the child’s frequency of exposure to water., emotional maturity, physical limitations, and health concerns related to swimming pools.” American Academy of Pediatrics, May 24, 2010.
Before opening her British Swim School locations in the USA, Rita Goldberg was a national swimmer in Britain, who went on to become a dedicated teacher. Working in the education system for many years, she left in 1981 to open her own private swim school in the basement of a Victorian house in Manchester, England. It was there she developed the unique teaching methods that have become a recognized trademark of British Swim School. Goldberg is an active member of the US Swim School Association and served as a board member for two years.
