SUMMARY:Sign up for a Free Swim Lesson at Stewie the Duck Swim School
DESCRIPTION:Stewie the Duck Swim School is opening this June in Norwalk\, Connecticut and they would love for your family to attend one of their open houses on June 3rd or 4th from 12-4pm to tour the brand-new\, state of the art facility! Swim lessons start Monday\, June 5th \n\n\nStewie the Duck Swim School is hosting FREE open houses at the swim school on June 3rd and 4th from 12 – 4pm so children can come check it out\, meet their instructors\, and get some Stewie the Duck goodies. \n \nAbout Stewie the Duck Swim School Founded by Kim and Stew Leonard\nWhen we lost our son Stewie in a drowning accident in 1989\, we decided to do everything we could to prevent other families from experiencing the same tragedy. We started the Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation\, leading us to write two books and raise $6 million for water safety awareness. Our dream has always been to open a swim school. 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!
