Designed for our older girls, Emergency Water Safety is the first step in preparing for a Lifeguard Certification and it is a helpful prerequisite for professional level life saving certifications. Our EWS classes are small which is essential for this sort of skill based program. EWS is the right class for those who want to advance in their swimming and waterfront skills without the more strenuous training of our competitive swimming program.

I loved knowing that Sharon was safe and happy with you. Every single time I saw a counselor she was smiling and helping and just AWESOME. No matter how many times she was hugged (or tugged) she showed a spirit that I rarely see in the real world. Pineville, NC
