So often I come across parents that don’t know what their kids should be learning when it comes to swim lessons and water safety.

That’s why I wanted to take some time to lay out and explain the 8 Basic Water Safety Skills.

These skills are what we teach our students at Big Kahuna Swim Academy.

They ensure that our students not only know how to keep themselves safe, but will also enable them to sustain swimming for a long period of time and save themselves if they are ever in a situation where they fall into a pool or body of water.
