Summer may be ending, but swimming season never has to.
Just like reading, math, or sports, swimming improves with consistent practice. Year-round lessons help children build confidence, strengthen technique, reinforce water safety habits, and continue progressing instead of spending weeks relearning skills after a long break.
Swimming isn't just another extracurricular activity—it's a lifelong skill that helps keep children safer in and around the water. The CDC recognizes basic swimming and water safety skills as an effective drowning prevention strategy.
Keep your child's progress moving forward this school year.
August Skill of the Month: Supported Back Float!
Learning to float on their back is one of the foundational skills we work on in Level 1.
With support from their instructor, swimmers practice relaxing in the water, keeping their head back and body in the proper position, while learning to breathe comfortably.
These early skills are building blocks for both water safety and future swimming skills.
Keep practicing, Level 1 swimmers—you’re building a strong foundation one float at a time!
🏊 Inside Level 1: Water Exploration
Every swimmer starts somewhere, and at Kids First, that journey begins with confidence.
Level 1 is where children learn to feel comfortable in the water while building the foundational skills they'll use throughout their swimming journey. Swimmers practice breath control, supported floating, beginning kicking, safe entry and exit, and basic pool safety before progressing to more advanced skills.
This month, we're highlighting breath control—one of the most important skills in learning to swim. Learning to blow bubbles and control breathing helps children become more comfortable underwater and prepares them for every skill that comes next.
Follow along each month as we take you Inside the Kids First Curriculum and show you exactly how we help swimmers build confidence, skills, and water safety—one level at a time.

August's Tree of Summer Memories!
As summer winds down, we're taking time to reflect on all the fun, growth, and memories we've made along the way.
This month, swimmers can add a butterfly to our lobby tree by completing the sentence:
"My favorite summer memory was..."
Whether it's learning a new swim skill, spending time with family, making new friends, or enjoying a favorite vacation, every memory helps tell the story of a wonderful summer.
We hope this month's tree encourages meaningful conversations between parents and children as they look back on their favorite moments together.
Stop by the lobby and add your butterfly during your next visit! 🦋
