School’s Out! ☀️
School’s out for summer, and that means more time for the things you love. Beach days, sunny afternoons on the boat, and relaxing time by the pool are right around the corner.
If your little melon is only attending class one day a week, we highly encourage you to take advantage of your extra time this summer to sign them up for a second class. Not only can this help your little melon progress faster, it will help them gain confidence for all the fun, water filled activities we’re sure you have planned throughout the summer.
And don’t forget, families receive a discount for swimming multiple times a week! Talk to the front desk during your next visit to learn more.
Water Safety Tips for Gatherings
Summer is here and so are the risks. It’s the season for pool parties, family barbeques, and backyard get-togethers.
Almost 23% of drownings happen during gatherings. It’s important to incorporate layers of safety at your gathering this summer to significantly reduce the risk of an emergency. Things like:
- Assigning a water watcher. This is a sober, undistracted adult whose job is keeping an eye on everyone in the pool.
- Taking frequent breaks. In this Florida heat it’s essential to take breaks to hydrate and refuel.
- Making pool rules clear. Don’t assume everyone already knows what they can and can’t do at the pool, even adults.
- Having proper fencing and barriers around the pool. Self-locking gates and a safety barrier of at least four feet high.
These small steps can make a HUGE difference!
Learn CPR
The first week of June is CPR & AED Awareness Week. At Watermelon Swim, we require all of our team members to acquire a CPR certification and maintain it.
We encourage all able-bodied adults—parents, grandparents, and even older siblings—to learn CPR. Though it’s a skill we hope you never have to use, it can make a huge difference in an emergency situation.
Performing immediate CPR to a drowning victim can increase their chance of survival by double or even triple. Visit our blog to read about the importance of learning CPR!
