Teaching swimming is our business, and your child's safety in and around the water is important to us. Here are a few things to think about when you and your family spend time around the water.

Please keep in mind that no child is drown-proof. Even if your child has been in our program for multiple sessions, always supervise your swimmers. Never assume someone else is supervising your children. Parents should condition children never to go near the water without a parent or adult.

The parent must set strict rules and stick to them. You have set strong rules about the street for your children; practice the same important when setting rules for pool safety. Try to avoid making the child fearful of the pool; just reinstate that a parent needs to be with them at the pool at all times.

Please educate your caregivers (grandparents, sitters, etc.) of your pool guidelines, and explain the importance of them. The water should be a fun place for your family, but please keep this information in mind.

Safety Tips

  1. Always supervise your swimmers.
  2. Parents and caretakers should be certified in CPR. (Red Cross: 713-526-8300)
  3. Have a telephone within reach of the pool area.
  4. Check the pool first if your child is missing
  5. Teach your children to never swim alone, and to ask an adult to watch them swim.
  6. Keep toys away from pool's edge. A child could fall in reaching for a toy.
  7. Keep rescue equipment near the pool.
  8. All doors leading to pools, lakes, etc. should be self-closing and self locking.
  9. Pool areas should be completely fenced in.
  10. Enroll your child in swim lessons at Saint Street Swim.

Happy swimming!
