Safety Around Water
This summer, Grand Strand Miracle Leagues is partnering with the YMCA of Coastal Carolina to offer Safety Around Water, a specialized swim lesson series designed to teach essential water safety skills to individuals with disabilities.
Through this partnership, participants will gain confidence in and around water while learning lifesaving skills such as how to float, reach safety, and respond in an emergency. Lessons are led by certified instructors trained to adapt the program to meet the needs of each swimmer, ensuring a supportive and inclusive experience.

It’s important that participants attend all four classes in their session. If you know you’ll be away or may have a conflict with any of the dates, we kindly ask that you DO NOT SIGN UP.
