Drowning Is Preventable
Early exposure to water and learning to swim can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% for 1-4 year olds who take formal swim lessons.
Did you know that swimming is not an instinctive skill for humans? We must be taught. The AAP recommends starting swim lessons as early as age one.
By enrolling in swim lessons you are learning life saving skills!

Drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4
Tragically our family experienced this first hand when we lost my 2 and a half year old niece in a drowning accident.
Drowning prevention starts with educating families on water safety as well as building strong swimming skills and water competency. This is where I come alongside your family to help grow your knowledge and confidence.

What Students and Families Have to Say
We have taken lessons in a variety of places over the years and many have been great in many ways, but what I appreciated the most about lessons with Crystal was the fact it really was one-on-one. There weren't multiple kids in the pool at the same time....which led to a very calm and productive lesson. Highly recommend Crystal and I Kam Swim!
My five year old son J has been uncomfortable around water his whole life. Never putting his head in the water, even in the bathtub. When we were invited to pool parties, he would sit on the edge, happy as a clam, but never going more than waist deep in the pool. We did multiple group swim lessons. He would listen and observe while sitting on the edge, doing hand motions out of the water. His instructor was very kind and tried to involve him, but he would politely decline. Being around the water was not an enjoyable thing for him. I didn't want him to miss out on the fun, but mostly I wanted him to feel confident, comfortable and safe in the water. That's when we contacted I Kam Swim. Crystal was wonderful from day one. Crystal patiently worked with him every day for 5 days. I was skeptical about what could be done in such a short amount of time. The transformation was incredible. Crystal gently challenged J, encouraged him, and praised him. She made the water enjoyable. By the end of the week, my son, who would move heaven and earth to keep his head out of the water, was voluntarily dunking his head under water FOR FUN. Crystal transformed his relationship with water. We enrolled J in group swim lessons again at the end of the summer to encourage and maintain his progress. The instructor remembered him and was AMAZED at the change. As a parent, I am forever grateful for I Kam Swim and the difference Crystal made in my son's life. (Bonus benefit: Bathtime is SOO much easier now!)
