Why are Providence swimming lessons so important?
Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the US for children under 14, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes – even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:
Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

Hello Future Swimmers, My name is Kristen Donnelly, and I am beyond excited to teach you how to swim. I have been competitively swimming since I was 9. I swam in many meets and participated in various events. My favorite events were the backstroke events. Later on, I had the opportunity to coach swimming. That was a dream come true for me. I coached kids between the ages of 2 and 13. They went to swim meets just like I did. I was able to attend and coach most of the meets. Being able to go to the meets, cheer them on, and see what they accomplished during practice made me so thrilled. Seeing how happy those kids were took me back to how I felt when I swam in meets. I love watching kids succeed, but most importantly, laugh, smile, and have fun.
