Learning to swim is a summer rite of passage all children should experience. Swimming helps kids be physically active, have fun, and most importantly, be safe in and by the water.
If you are like most parents, your summer is busy juggling work, travel, summer camp, and many other details. But don’t let the craziness of summer overwhelm you! Teaching your child to swim safely and competently can save their life.

Diving into Summer in Santa Clarita
The Red Cross surveyed children’s swimming skills and made a shocking discovery. Over 61% of children do not have basic water safety skills, including half of all teens. Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children.
Water competency consists of five specific skills.
- Step or jump into water that is over your head
- Return to the surface and float or tread water for one minute
- Turn around in a full circle and find an exit
- Swim 25 yards to an exit
- Exit the pool without using a ladder
If your child is not yet water-competent, take time this summer to help them get there. With the many knowledgeable teachers in the SCV, your child will become a stronger swimmer and have a lot of fun.
Dorado Swim has teamed up with the Paseo Club to provide your child with quality swim lessons at whatever level they are at. Parents who are members can use that time to watch the lesson, grab a bite at the cafe, or hit the gym.
The Paseo Club is a family-centered social club. There are several activities and social events for the whole family throughout the year — summer camps, junior tennis, dive-in movies, Kids Club childcare, and more.
