Our partnership

Bringing the pool into the school day

David’s Swim School and Phyl’s Academy Preparatory School joined forces to fight drowning together. Through this partnership, every Phyl’s student can learn to swim with a professional aquatic program, without the school needing to run its own aquatic department.

Busy schedules are one of the biggest reasons kids miss swim lessons. So we brought the lessons to campus, inside the school day, where students learn in a place they already know and trust.

“Provide every student the opportunity to learn to swim safely while developing confidence, discipline, and measurable skill progression.”

More than swim lessons

We teach kids to prevent drowning

Knowing how to swim is just the beginning. Every Phyl’s student also learns how to stay safe, recognize danger and act the right way in the water, with the same training our lifeguards and instructors use.

❤️

CPR basics

Age-appropriate CPR and first-response skills, with hands-on practice.

🛟

Lifeguard skills

Reach or throw, don’t go: how to help a friend without putting yourself at risk.

👀

Warning signs

Drowning is quiet. Kids learn to spot a swimmer in trouble and call for help fast.

🚨

What to do in an emergency

Stay calm, call a grown-up or 911, grab something that floats.

🙃

Survival skills

Roll on your back and float, tread water and get safely to the wall.

📏

Water safety rules

Never swim alone, always with an adult watching, and respect the depth.

🎓 Teens can go further with CPR and Lifeguard training, opening doors to certifications and their first job.

First: don't jump in Grab something that floats Throw it Reach or throw, don't go And call a grown-up

A real lesson from our School Swim Program: Reach or throw, don’t go.
