According to CDC data, drowning is the leading cause of death in children, and almost 4,000 drownings happen yearly in the US. In today's episode, we talk with Jenny Moore, Recreation Supervisor and Manager of the Redding Aquatic Center, about swim safety, swim lessons, and what every family should know while they enjoy the water this Summer.
She also touches on the lifeguard program at the Redding Aquatic Center and how they take extra steps every year to make sure their staff is highly trained and ready for emergencies.
If you think swim lessons are just for kids, think again. Adults of all kinds take classes to build endurance, refine stroke techniques, and help gain confidence in the water. If you haven’t already enrolled yourself or your kids in swim lessons, this might be the summer to start.
