STA's International Learn to Swim Week May 12 - 18, 2025

International Learn to Swim Week

STA's International Learn to Swim Week unites over 40 countries to emphasize the crucial importance of learning to swim and water safety as summer nears.

Dive into safety and fun with STA's International Learn to Swim Week (May 12  - 18, 2025)

We're celebrating with daily themes to highlight the vital importance of learning to swim and staying safe in the water as the summer and holidays approach. It's a fantastic opportunity to build confidence for new swimmers of all ages and abilities.

This week we're focusing on:

  • Mental health and wellbeing: Swimming is a relaxing, full-body workout that reduces stress, boosts mood, and improves sleep.
  • Benefits of swimming: From a low-impact, calorie-burning exercise to improving heart health, stress relief, happy hormones, gentle joint exercise, and family fun in the water.
  • Understanding water temperature and risks in open water: Cold water shock, temperature awareness, and essential safety precautions for open water swimming.
  • Baby swimming: Creating a positive introduction to the pool, fostering bonding and aiding your baby's motor and muscular development.
  • Swimming in clothes: Understand the challenges and importance of learning this vital safety skill under supervision.
  • Water Safety: Learn crucial water safety tips, including hazard identification, follow safety advice, never swimming alone, and basic emergency responses.
  • Beach safety: Be aware, be safe: Follow the beach safety checklist for a safe beach experience, including obeying signs, swimming in designated areas, supervising children, knowing emergency contacts, and being aware of tides and slippery rocks. We teach these skills in our lessons!
  • A comfortable and effective learning space: Clear teaching, respect diversity, lessons for all abilities and a safe and respectful community for all learners.
