Nation's Leading ‘Learn to Swim' Franchise Warns of Dangers of Water Safety ‘Myths' VIRGINIA BEACH, VA / ACCESSWIRE / May 19, 2022 / British Swim School, the nation's leading "learn to swim" franchise company recently launched an educational campaign during National Water Safety Month. The campaign, called "Learn the Myths of Water Safety," is meant to dispel the most common inaccuracies about water safety while reducing the number of accidental drownings in the United States and Canada. "We hear similar statements and beliefs from parents all the time - which is why a critical part of my job is to really help educate and decrease these misconceptions about water safety," said Melissa McGarvey, Aquatics Director for British Swim School. "We are excited about this campaign because it will educate the community and, hopefully, save lives!" Each year, nearly 4,000 people across the nation die from drowning. While parental supervision is always the number one safety measure, research shows that participation in formal swim programs, such as those offered by British Swim School, can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children who are most at risk for deaths caused by drowning.

"My kids don't really need swim lessons because I am always watching." Why this is a myth:
"You don't really have to worry about kids drowning when there are lots of people around." Why this is a myth:
