  Swim Lessons Save Lives

  May 2020 - now

  Swim Lesson Instructor/Co-founder

  At Swim Lessons Save Lives, we are dedicated to help as many children and adults as we can. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children one to four years old, and the second leading cause of death for children ages 5-14. But participating in formal swim lessons, such as ours, can reduce this risk by 88%! In May of 2020, we realized that many kids were missing opportunities to have swim lessons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We took this opportunity to create our business. Starting kids at an early age is crucial and this is why we created Swim Lessons Save Lives. Since we started in May of 2020, we have performed hundreds of private swim lessons. Our team is committed to teaching kids of all ages pool safety, how to swim, and even how to advance in their swimming career. Show less
