Seahorse Swim School, Inc. focuses on preparing our swimmers for all situations, by including water safety topics daily in our lessons. We teach our swimmers to think before they sink. Students are empowered when they learn that they have options when they get caught off guard in the water. They learn that they are able to take charge of thier own safety while learning life saving skills. We want all of our swimmers to be as comfortable in their aquatic environment as they can be. Each Seahorse Swimmer is taught with patience, encouragement and expertise.

Backyard pools are an enormous source of fun for children and families. If you do not have your own pool, you probably know someone that does. As important as it is to have fun swimming and playing around the pool, it's just as important to be safe and ensure the safety of others, especially children.

Here are some safety tips for backyard pools and swimming: Never leave children unsupervised; Enroll children in swim lessons; Become certified in CPR and First Aid; Build a secure gate around pool and keep it locked when you are not using the pool; Keep pool well maintained and make sure there is always full visibility in the pool water.
Sun Safety
1. See shade when possible between the hours of 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Teach your children to look for shade. 2. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen 15-30 minutes PRIOR to exposure. Use an SPF of 30 or more for maximum protection. Look for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or Parsol 1789 as active ingredients for maximum sun protection. Don't forget the ears, scalp and tops of hands/feet. 3. Teach your children to know the importance of putting on sunscreen, make it a daily habit so it becomes automatic. 4. Use water-resistant products and, if swimming, reapply periodically. 5. Wear a hat to cover face, neck and ears. Wear a longsleeved SPF rash-guard or wetsuit when swimming/surfing.6. See a dermatologist for an overall skin evaluation annually and report abnormalities early for best results.
