Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of accidental deaths in children and we, at Envious Swimming are excited to join the network of learn-to-swim providers to provide every child with the opportunity to learn how to be safe in the water.

Head Coach and Club Owner Marshall Muir comments, “this is a great step in promoting swim schools that focus on teaching kids how to be safe in and around the pool. We are looking forward to furthering the efforts of Make a Splash to have a real impact in New England.”
