Along with the swimming classes Dothan Leisure Services offers, there is also a Water Safety Day class people can attend on Thursday, May 30.
“Water is your friend, but it can also be super dangerous,” said Dothan Leisure Services’ Aquatics Manager Courtney Ganz.“We really encourage people who are not confident in their skills to enroll in swimming lessons,” Ganz explained.“You don’t want to panic,” Ganz said. “Keep yourself calm and remember how to tread water, how to float and making sure that you know at least those two life saving skills, so that maybe someone can come help you in that situation.
Ganz has some other pieces of advice for people who are wanting to have safe fun in the water this summer:“One of the most important things is always having a designated water watcher whether it’s swimmers or non-swimmers,” Ganz said. “You want somebody who can be completely dedicated to keeping their eyes on people in the water.”“It’s ok to be confident wearing a life jacket if you’re not completely confident in your skills,” Ganz said.
The class will be at Andrew Belle Community Center at 9 a.m.and receive the latest local news and weather straight to your email every morning. Get instant notifications on top stories from News 4 by downloading our
