other heat related dangers. Have your kid wear a sun block with SPF 50, 20 to 15 minutes

before the swimming lesson starts.

your kids how to call for help when someone is in need of assistance, call the swimming

program. This could help us assess the capability of the service provider to keep the swimming

lesson safe for kids.

number of the company to government certifications and instructor accreditation.
