Round Lake Beach, Ill – June 24, 2015 – Round Lake Beach and Waukegan area residents now have another option for swim lessons. Syed and Osama Zaidi teamed up to form Little Angels Swim Club and opened the British Swim School franchisee’s two locations in April.
The cousins are offering classes in the pool at LA Fitness, 540 E. Rollings Road, Round Lake Beach and in the LA Fitness pool located at 452 Lakehurst Road, Waukegan. Osama Zaidi, who teaches the lessons, says learning to swim through British Swim School is a good choice because water survival skills are the top priority.
“Especially in Round Lake Beach, there are a lot of lakes and area residents who have boats,” Osama explained. “We teach survival skills, such as floating on your back until help arrives without panicking. Water safety is a big concern for parents.”
British Swim School uses proven practices that empower people to save their own lives.
Currently, sessions take place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in Round Lake Beach. Waukegan lessons are offered on Tuesday and Sunday.
Children as young as three months old are able to learn the back float. Classes are available for children of all ages and adults. For children enrolled in the first two levels, a parent or guardian is only required to be in the water until they are 18 months old.
For questions, or to sign up for specific classes, please call (630) 833-8145.
