A priority for the Curtis Aquatic Center's Swim Lesson Program is water safety. At the end of each class, instructors will go over a different safety rule that can be applied around any body of water. Listed below are several of the safety rules that our program covers:
- Never swim alone.
- Swim only in supervised areas.
- Always protect your head when diving.
- Never dive in shallow or unfamiliar water.
- Diving boards are for strong swimmers only.
- When the unexpected occurs, roll to your back.
- Never call for help unless you need it.
- Know your limits!
- Avoid strong currents like rivers and oceans.
- Don't just pack it, where your life jacket.
- It's never safe on a frozen lake.
- Don't be a fool, follow the rules.
- Reach throw but don't go.
We encourage swimmers of all ages and abilities to abide by these important rules. Your safety in and around the water is our top priority!
