WATER SAFETY WEEK - Wings Over Water School of Swimming

With Summer rapidly approaching, it's time to get our students and families involved with WOW's WATER SAFETY WEEK!
 
Students in: Star Fish, Dolphin, Hot Shot, Beginner, Beginner Plus, Level 1 and Level 2 all need to wear pants and shirts OVER their bathing suits.
  
Baby classes including: Tot, Super Tot, Gold Fish and Angel Fish do NOT need clothing. 
 
We take water safety very seriously. Here are some statics we think you should know. 

  • Every day an average of 10 people die from drowning in this country
  • Every year, nearly 3,500 people drown nationwide
  • 58% of African American children and 56% of Hispanic children don't know how to swim and neither do their parents.    

"It's not important how fast or how far an individual can swim, but the duration one can stay in water safely."  - Edie Flood
