Check here for all of the cool things that are happening with SafeSplash Columbia Heights!
Jennifer Lilintahl, the co-owner of SafeSplash Swim School Columbia Heights, was interviewed for National Drowning Prevention Day:
"Parents should never leave a child unattended near the water. They should always make sure there is adult supervision and there are adults assigned to watch each child. This sounds easier [said] than done. Parents could be at the beach or at a pool party and lose track of their child. They should never assume that someone else is watching their child, and every adult should know exactly where each child is. If they need to step away, they should request another adult to watch their child. Accidents happen in the blink of an eye, and usually for reasons like this."
Jennifer Lilintahl, the co-owner of SafeSplash Swim School Columbia Heights, says starting swim lessons as early as 4 months old is important for children to build a strong foundation in water safety and reduce their fear of water.
“[Children] don’t have that opportunity to necessarily develop a fear or aversion to the water because of frequent exposure.”
Jennifer Lilintahl guest stars to give important safety tips all parents need to know.
