Drowning is a leading cause of death for children four and under\, but those who receive swim lessons are 88% less likely to drown. If our son knew how to float and roll over onto his back\, he might still be with us today. \n\n\nOur mission at the Stewie the Duck Swim School is to save lives\, one lesson at a time. All the profits from the Swim School will go back to funding free or low-cost swim lessons for children in need. Our goal is to fund at least 20\,000 free swimming lessons every year! \n\n\nGo HERE to reserve your spot at one of their open houses. \nTo register for swim lessons\, visit our newly designed website. Just click “Parent Portal” or “Register Here” to start the process. Not sure which level to place your child? Take the Assessment Quiz HERE. Get your first lesson FREE when you use the promo code “WELCOME!. Sign up today! We can’t wait to see you at the pool!
