Why Swim Lessons are Important for Virginia Beach Residents

There are many reasons why the city of Virginia Beach has emerged as one of the best beach cities on

the East Coast when choosing where to live and raise a family. Packed with numerous activities and

entertainment options, Virginia Beach is an ideal location for a family looking for adventure and

opportunity, while still finding a family-friendly atmosphere throughout the city itself that they can

happily place roots in.


If you’re a Virginia Beach resident, we at Katie’s Kickers want to be at the forefront of your minds when

you consider getting professional swimming lessons. To encourage you to invest in this important

activity, below are three powerful benefits to taking swim lessons as a Virginia Beach resident.


1.    Safety for you and others:


Safe swimming is the focal point and main reason that Katie’s Kickers exists! Water safety is

something we will never stop pushing awareness of, because it’s the core of why we do what we

do. There is no greater investment than in the safety of your family.


Drowning is a scary topic to address and discuss, but we can’t ignore the facts that it’s a very

real possibility. Children aren’t readily aware of the risks of water unless they’re properly taught

them, and taught and have practiced swimming skills that allow them to navigate water safely.

Not only are we at Katie’s Kickers equipping our own families with the knowledge and skills they

need – but it’s a skill that we can transfer onto others or benefit others with!


Virginia Beach is a popular vacation destination, seeing the arrival of thousands of families each

summer. Your knowledge and skill in swimming always has the potential to help others in need

who may not be equipped with similar knowledge.


2.    Allows you to immerse yourself in all Virginia Beach has to offer:


Swimming is a skill that will allow you to truly immerse yourself in everything Virginia Beach has

to offer! From deep sea fishing, whale and dolphin tours, snorkeling, surfing … the list goes on!


The ability to swim means that you and your family can readily and excitedly sign up for

countless adventures without worrying about safety risks, should something occur. It gives you

the confidence to explore all that our wonderful city of Virginia Beach has going for it.


3.    Gives you the opportunity to find an unexpected career or passion:


By learning to swim, you’re opening the door to the possibility of a new passion or career centered around the water! If you don’t know how to swim, you might associate a fear with the ocean, meaning you might never try a new water sport or activity, limiting yourself from your fullest potential. You may find that you thrive in the water, given the chance!


By allowing Katie’s Kickers to teach you and your family how to navigate the water, you’re open to discovering a whole new world of possibilities – and who knows, your children might become marine

biologists when they grow up because of it!


Katie’s Kickers offers a multitude of swim lesson options so that you and your family can learn to safely

swim in a way that’s curated perfectly to your individual needs. Get started today by calling us at 757-

942-5893 or sending us an email, and you’ll soon be on your way to exploring the fan-favorite water attractions of Virginia Beach!
