Florida Swim School

Did you know 23% of child drownings happen during a family gathering near a pool? During parties, BBQs, birthdays, and family events, distractions happen fast — and children can slip away to the swimming pool silently and unnoticed in seconds.

At Florida Swim School in Boca Raton, we believe layers of protection save lives. Water safety for kids should always include active adult supervision, pool fences, swim lessons, designated water watchers, and emergency preparedness. The 5 Layers of Protection help prevent drowning accidents before they happen.

If you’re hosting a pool party or spending time around water in South Florida this summer, assign one adult whose only job is watching the pool and water features at all times. Drowning is quick, silent, and preventable.

Enrolling children in swim lessons and water safety classes helps build confidence, stronger swimming skills, and life-saving habits around the water. Florida Swim School offers indoor swim lessons in Boca Raton for babies, toddlers, children, and adults year-round.

Did you know that four-sided isolation pool fencing can prevent up to 50–90% of childhood drownings and near drownings? 🚨💦

During National Water Safety Month, Florida Swim School is helping families across Boca Raton and South Florida understand the importance of layers of protection around the water. A four-sided pool fence creates a barrier between children and the pool, helping prevent unsupervised access and reducing the risk of accidental drowning.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for young children, but water safety education, swim lessons for kids, active supervision, and proper pool safety barriers can save lives. Teaching children how to swim early and creating a safer home pool environment are critical steps every parent can take.

At Florida Swim School, we believe water safety is a life-saving skill. 🏊‍♀️
