What is Step Into Swim?
A national water-safety initiative that funds learn-to-swim opportunities for kids. Locally, our team at Big Blue Paoli administers grants and lessons at our Paoli facility.
Why these matters
- Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for children; formal lessons reduce risk significantly.
- Our distance-based curriculum builds measurable progress and confidence.
- We offer adaptive options for children of all abilities.
- Locally owned and operated by Erica & Kristy Kowal (Kristy is an Olympic Silver Medalist).
