Free Baby Swim Lessons Offered In Tri-Valley

DUBLIN, CA -- The American Swim Academy, with locations in Dublin and Livermore, is currently offering free swim classes for infants between four and six months during May as part of National Water Safety Month.

Accidental drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 1 to 4 and three children die everyday as a result, according to the swim school administrators. In 2010, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) updated their advice on drowning prevention stating that new evidence shows that children ages 1 to 4 may be less likely to drown if they have had formal swimming instruction.

“Our Mini Aqua Babies program is developmentally appropriate for physical, social and cognitive growth, while also introducing critical water safety skills for families, ” said Linda Bailey, Aqua Babies program director. “Our indoor pools, heated to 92 degrees, coupled with our soft, loving and gentle approach makes learning enjoyable for both baby and parent.”

The free classes will be offered at all four American Swim Academy locations, which also includes Newark and Fremont.
