ATLANTA – We’re just a few weeks away from Spring Break here in Atlanta, and summer vacation follows closely behind. And before you plan your vacation near the water, experts say there’s an important question you need to consider: can your children swim?
This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we spent a few hours at the new Big Blue Swim School location in North Druid Hills, chatting with instructors and students about the importance of learning to swim. According to the American Red Cross, taking water safety and swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning for children aged 1 to 4 by 88% — which is why instruction at Big Blue Swim School begins for children as young as 3 months old.

“We’re a year-round program, so it’s honestly good to start way before, just to get them acclimated to the water,” said Edelhoff-Baker.
