British Swim School Ready To Make Big Splash In Woodstock

British Swim School, the pioneer of gentle, non-traditional infant water safety programs, is making a splash in the greater Atlanta area with the opening of its newest location at Gold’s Gym situated at 301 Gold Creek Trail in Woodstock. Set to open on February 4, 2017, this location marks the fourth British Swim School throughout Atlanta.

This will be local franchise owners Aaron Hebel and Christina Lachenmeyer’s second British Swim School location in North Atlanta, with their first located in Marietta. British Swim School of Woodstock will be hosting several informational Splash-a-palooza events at Gold’s Gym (educational water safety events that include parent/child time in the pool) throughout the last two weeks of January to help educate community members about their services.

“Drowning is the leading cause of death among children ages 1-4, claiming an average of 3,500 lives every year in the United States,” said Hebel, franchise co-owner of British Swim School of Woodstock. “Swimming is a critical life skill and there are a multitude of benefits for children enrolled in swim lessons at an early age. We’re looking to help to drive awareness of the importance of water survival skills, as well as provide increased access to lessons in the greater Atlanta area so that we can help save lives.”

British Swim School offers a two-step curriculum teaching children and adults of all ages’ water safety and survival skills first and swimming skill development second. While parental supervision is always the number one safety measure, research shows that participation in formal swim programs, such as British Swim School, can reduce the risk of drowning by 88 percent among children who are most at risk for deaths caused by drowning.

The British Swim School franchise concept operates a unique water safety program with teaching methods that serve as a trademark for the brand. The company offers lessons out of multiple national fitness chains and hotel pools year round and, based on the premise that children progress at different rates, does not run on “set courses”. Each child, regardless of age, is placed in their correct skill level and will have certain achievable objectives. The child will be graduated from that level and moved onto the next without a waiting period, as found in a course driven program. Conducting an average of 475,000 swimming lessons each year, British Swim School reaches more than 9,000 students per week, some as young as three months old.
