When the sun comes out and the weather warms up, that is typically when we think of pool parties and lazy days at the beach, but swimming and water play isn't just a summertime sport. Kids will be invited to pool parties, beach family vacations will be planned and even in Colorado indoor pools are a hot spot in the winter. Just like reading, writing and arithmetic, swimming is a life skill that is important to keep up with. For that reason, SafeSplash Swim School Arvada is dedicated to being parent's choice in swim schools and helping your child progress to be the best swimmer they can be.
