National Learn To Swim Day

Teach your kids to swim, or sign up for lessons yourself. It’s good  for your health, and may save your life or the life of another from  drowning someday.

Maybe humans can’t fly like birds (yet!), but that doesn’t mean that  walking is the only we can get around—with just a little patience and a  little work, we can learn to swim like fish, too. Of course, you could  live without ever knowing how to swim, but who would want to?

Swimming offers so many benefits that it’s impossible to say that  your life would be just as good without it—it builds muscle strength and  endurance, improves circulation, helps maintain a healthy weight,  alleviates stress and improves both coordination and flexibility, to  name but a few.

Not to mention that knowing how to swim can easily save your life or allow you a person to save someone’s life! Learn to Swim Day  was created to encourage people all over the world who don’t know how  to swim, regardless of age, to finally acquire this incredibly  beneficial skill or simply improve on their existing skills.

National Learn To Swim Day is observed every year on the third  Saturday of May and is dedicated to educating children and adults about  the importance of learning to swim and general water safety. National  Learn To Swim Day is held before the start of summer, to ensure that  anyone who cannot swim prior to summer is encouraged to learn, making  for a safer summer of water fun.

While swimming is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages  throughout the year, summer is the time when there is the most risk of  drowning, with an increasing number of people taking to lakes, rivers,  and swimming pools to cool off in the heat. Because there are a number  of risks involved in swimming – and accidentally falling into the water  or getting out of your depth – learning to swim from a young age is  vital.

History of Learn to Swim Day

This little holiday was created in 2012 by ‘Swimways’, now known as  ‘Teach Me To Swim’. Its main goal was to provide the opportunity to  raise awareness about the importance of water safety as well as teach  both children and adults how to swim.

At first, it was just a small event, but soon people began to realize  just how important it was to have such a day, especially during the  month when many swimming pools open for the summer all over the U.S.A.

Soon, corporations such as Target and Toys”R”Us joined Swimways in  celebrating this day by offering promotions on swimwear and learn to  swim items, as well as helping to raise awareness about Learn to Swim  Day. Nowadays, it seems that more people take part every year, resulting  in thousands of people finally mastering this extremely useful skill.

Raising awareness about water safety

National Learn To Swim Day is the ideal opportunity to raise  awareness about the crucial importance of being able to swim and being  confident in and around water, particularly for young children. Learning  to swim is an invaluable life skill that could, one day, save a child’s  life, which is why raising awareness about learning to swim is so  vital.

Did you know that drowning is the second leading cause of accidental  death in children from one to 14-years-old? That’s why it is so  important that children of all ages learn to swim, hence the need for  National Learn To Swim Day and the importance of raising awareness  around this crucial health and safety topic.

Learning to swim can be a lot of fun, and can be practiced at any  age. There are classes for swimming designed for children as young as a  few weeks old that teach young babies and toddlers how to turn over into  the water onto their backs, should they accidentally fall into water  and are unable to get out, effectively saving their own lives.

As well as basic swimming lessons for children of all ages, there are  also a number of advanced swimming classes that are designed to improve  children’s swimming skills and increase their confidence.

There are also swimming classes designed to teach children and  teenagers vital lifeguarding and lifesaving skills, so should they ever  need to help another swimmer who is in trouble in the water, they are  able to do so in a safe and confident way.

How to celebrate Learn to Swim Day

As you may well have guessed, the best way to celebrate Learn to Swim  day would be to learn to swim. It is estimated that about half of all  Americans can’t swim, so if you happen to be a part of this group, this  day is the perfect time to change your life for the better!

National Learn To Swim Day is all about encouraging people to learn  how to swim and to ensure that from a young age children are encouraged  to learn how to swim. National Learn To Swim Day also encourages parents  to book swimming lessons for their children, to help boost their water  confidence and ensure that they properly understand water safety and how  dangerous water can be.

Many swimming lesson companies offer deals and discounts as part of  the National Learn To Swim Day celebrations, encouraging parents to  enroll their children in classes that could one day save their lives.

Don’t be shy, no matter how old you are, there and millions of other  people your age who can’t swim, either. So get a bathing suit you feel  comfortable in, and make your way down to your nearest pool, and take a  few lessons. Learning the basics of swimming is generally considered  quite easy for most people.

If you don’t want to take a class from an instructor, you could  always ask a friend or relative who swims well to teach you. However, it  is extremely important to exercise caution at all times, and take your  time practicing in shallow, relatively still water for quite some time  before venturing out into less safe territory.

And even when you do learn to swim well enough to feel comfortable in  the water, you should never take unnecessary risks, like swimming in  areas not monitored by lifeguards, disregarding warning signs, swimming  under the influence of alcohol, or diving without first checking the  water is at least 9-10 feet deep. You could also host a pool party or  make a deal with your children that you will find the time to go  swimming together at least once a week.

World Sand Dune Day

Vital natural barriers, these landforms protect coastlines, support diverse habitats, and maintain ecological balance in our environment.

Sand dunes are natural landscapes that can be found wherever loose sand is blown, most typically in deserts or on beaches. They serve as a habitat for many interesting and rare species of animals and plants, as well as acting as a place of recreation for people from local communities or further afield. But due to activities by humans as well as erosion, sand dunes in some places may be under threat. 

The hope of World Sand Dune Day is to draw attention to these amazing natural features and encourage individuals, families and communities to get involved in caring for them in a protective, restorative way.

History of World Sand Dune Day

World Sand Dune Day was started in 2021 as a collaboration between two organizations, Dynamic Dunescapes and Sands of LIFE, both projects which are working to protect and restore coastal sand dune systems in the UK. In Ireland, the day is celebrated and supported by the organization called Clean Coasts. Other communities and organizations dedicated to sand dunes also celebrate this day in places all throughout the globe.

This event was founded with the purpose of highlighting the importance of sand dunes for their various ways they serve the ecosystems. This includes biodiversity, acting as a home to many different species of plants and animals, as well as serving as a barrier from waves and surges. In addition, World Sand Dune Day also highlights the recreation that sand dunes provide for humans.

How to Celebrate World Sand Dune Day

Consider some of these ideas for how to get started with celebrating World Sand Dune Day:

Attend World Sand Dune Day Events in the UK

The different organizations that support World Sand Dune Day will host various events and activities at different sites. The schedule changes each year and is based on location, but some activities might include explorations, tours, crafts for kids, spider hunts, butterfly walks, bird walks, orchid walks, art workshops for adults and so much more! Check out the activities calendar at your local sand dune for more information, or find event listings by location at the Dynamic Dunescapes website. 

Visit a Sand Dune Area in the US

An excellent way to celebrate World Sand Dune Day might be to head over to the closest national park or other sand dune and pay a visit. While there, be sure to follow all of the safety and conservation rules, and also don’t forget to clean up after yourself! Check out some of these popular sand dune destinations in the US:

Pacific City Sand Dunes in Oregon 

Algodones Dunes and Imperial Sand Dunes in California

Jockey’s Ridge State Park Sand Dunes in North Carolina

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park in Michigan 

Support a Sand Dune Charity

Those who aren’t up for a visit to a sand dune park but would like to participate in the day can certainly make a difference by providing a donation to a worthy cause. Different charities have been started to protect the sand dunes in different states and countries around the world. Find out through an online search which one is local and then get connected!
