The YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) in Bristol offers survival swim classes, and they even have gift cards available for the holidays!The goal of survival swim lessons is if a child makes their way to water without a parent knowing it, they will have the tools to get to the surface, get a breath and make noises to help alert someone. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), drowning is the number one cause of injury-related death for children ages one to four.
