Intensive Swim Lessons For Kids (2 years -14)

Water Safety Is Our Top Concern For Your Baby

Water safety is an important matter in any home, especially if you’re the parent or guardian of a wiggly baby or young child. Everything peaks their interests and they’re natural explorers. The pool and water are great discovery play zones, but they’re also the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of 5. This alarming fact was a spark in the creation of Excellent Montessori’s Swim School, and it’s been our mission since 2012 to put an end to this tragic statistic. Swimming lessons don’t just give your baby a head start in their development, they also reduce their risk of drowning by up to 88%. Instilling confidence, increasing body awareness and spurring brain development are all just nice bonuses in comparison to their life-saving value in light of these facts:

Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death for children under age 5 years old

65% of all preschooler-drowning incidents occur in the child’s home pool

33% of drownings occur at the homes of friends, neighbors or relatives

9 out of 10 drowning deaths occur while a caregiver is present
