Why Year-Round Swim Lessons Matter - And How Tiger Shark's Spring Programs Keep Your Family Safe and Confident in the Water


Swimming is one of the most important life skills a person can learn - for children and adults alike. Yet drowning remains a leading cause of unintentional death for young children in the United States, and millions of adults lack basic swimming ability. Thankfully, research shows that formal swim lessons save lives and build confidence in the water.


THE TRUTH BEHIND WATER SAFETY: WHAT THE STATISTICS TELL US


For children:

  • Drowning is the #1 cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1-4 in the U.S. and the 2nd leading cause for children 5-14.

  • Formal swim lessons can reduce drowning risk by up to 88% among children ages 1-4.

  • Even when swim skills are learned, children still need structured practice to retain and improve water competency - which is why year-round instruction matters.


For Adults:

  • According to the CDC, over half of U.S. adults have never taken a swim lesson, and nearly 40 million adults do not know how to swim.

  • Lack of swim ability is linked to water emergencies - whether at pools, lakes, or on vacation. Learning to swim builds confidence, reduces fear, and improves safety for adults and caregivers alike.


WHY YEAR-ROUND LESSONS MATTER


Swimming isn't just a summer activity - it's a lifelong safety skill that strengthens with consistent practice. Spring lessons are a strategic way to refresh skills, build confidence, and keep your swimmer progressing toward long-term water competency.


Whether you're preparing a toddler for their next water milestone or an adult trying something new, swim lessons significantly reduce risk and increase enjoyment of all aquatic experiences - from backyard pool parties to beach beach vacations.
