Girl Scouts and Water Safety
Goldfish Swim School Covington is excited to partner with Girl Scout troops in the Louisiana East region to provide valuable water safety education and swim experiences. As a premier swim school with a state-of-the-art indoor facility, we are committed to empowering young girls with essential water safety knowledge and skills.
Program Options
We offer two flexible opportunities for Girl Scout troops to participate:
Option 1: Girl Scout Swim & Water Safety Event (Held at Our Swim School)
• A water safety presentation led by certified instructors
• A structured swim session in our heated indoor pool
• Hands-on practice of essential water safety skills
• Cost: $5 per swimmer
Option 2: On-Site Water Safety Presentation (Held at Your Troop’s Meeting Location)
• A 20-minute interactive water safety presentation
• Led by experienced swim instructors
• Covers drowning prevention, emergency responses, and safe water practices
• Free of charge
Why This Matters
Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children, and Louisiana has one of the highest drowning rates in the country. Our goal is to equip Girl Scouts with life-saving knowledge and confidence in and around water, whether they are swimmers or not.
Benefits for Girl Scouts
• Earn a water safety patch - if applicable
• Gain essential water survival knowledge
• Learn skills that promote confidence and independence
• Participate in a fun, team-building experience
Scheduling & Next Steps
We would love to bring this opportunity to your troop! Whether you’d like to schedule a swim event or a water safety presentation, we can work with your troop’s schedule to make it happen.
Please reach out to discuss availability and details. We look forward to partnering with Girl Scouts to promote water safety in our community!
