When it comes to summer fun, nothing beats a day in the water, and while swimming is one of the most enjoyable activities for children, it’s also one of the most important skills they can learn. At World of Discovery Day Camp, located in Bayside, Queens, we take the importance of swim safety seriously.
Our dedicated swimming program, led by Red Cross-certified lifeguards, is designed to give kids the tools they need to stay safe in and around water. Whether your child is just starting to feel comfortable in the pool or already enjoys swimming, our program ensures they’re learning water safety essentials in a supportive and fun environment.
Swimming isn’t just a recreational activity—it’s a life skill. Teaching children how to be safe in the water reduces the risk of accidents and builds their confidence. At World of Discovery Day Camp, we focus on the basics of swim safety, giving campers the knowledge they need to enjoy the water responsibly.
Our approach is about more than just technique; it’s about fostering awareness. Campers learn how to recognize potential hazards, stay calm in challenging situations, and develop respect for the water.
Our swimming instruction is tailored to accommodate children of all abilities, from beginners to those who are more experienced in the water. Each session is supervised by Red Cross-certified lifeguards who prioritize safety above all else.
Campers gain foundational skills, including:
For many children, these lessons are their first introduction to swimming. For others, it’s an opportunity to reinforce what they already know while having fun.
The heart of our swimming program lies in our experienced team of lifeguards, all certified by the American Red Cross. Their expertise ensures that every camper is learning in a secure environment.
By following strict safety protocols, maintaining constant supervision, and tailoring lessons to individual needs, our lifeguards create a safe and engaging space where children can thrive.
For many children, the water can be intimidating. That’s why we emphasize small group instruction, which allows our lifeguards to give campers personalized attention. With this approach, kids feel more comfortable and supported as they learn.
The confidence they gain through our program extends beyond the pool. Many parents notice that their children become more self-assured and independent, traits that benefit them in every aspect of life.
At World of Discovery Day Camp, swim time is always a highlight of the day. Campers not only enjoy staying cool during the summer heat but also learn invaluable skills that can last a lifetime.
