Impact Indicators

One of our Gables swimmers, Francisco, is a great example of why we start water safety early.

Even though he’s an energetic swimmer who loves the pool, he’s had two instances where he accidentally fell in a pool outside of class. Both times were scary, but his lessons saved the day:

As a Tot: He fell in and got a bit of a scare, but he instinctively grabbed the wall.

In Parent & Me Plus: He fell in again, but this time he was able to grab the wall and climb out by himself.

It’s never easy for a parent to see their child fall in a pool or body of water, but Francisco’s mom shared these stories to show that the skills we practice really do work. Those early lessons turn scary moments into safer ones.
