"San Leandro is exactly the kind of community where we want to be," Chris Harkness, President of SafeSplash Swim School, said.

The expansion, officials with the organization said, reflects the growing demand for "structured, safety-first swim education in the region."

SafeSplash offers courses for people of all ages looking to learn for the first time, build confidence or strengthen their technique at their own pace, the organization said.

"Our goal is to create a place where children and adults feel safe, encouraged, and inspired to reach their potential in the water," Ujjal Baruah, owner of SafeSplash San Leandro, said. "Every lesson is a step toward greater confidence, safety, and a skill that lasts a lifetime."
