Built for Life: Swimming, Safety, and Water Competency

On tonight's show, I’m joined by Kristin Stitt, Managing Partner of North Alabama Swim Schools and SafeSplash Swim Labs in Huntsville and Madison. Most parents believe they know whether their child can swim. Kristin says the bigger question may be whether a child is truly water competent. With a background in healthcare leadership and a passion for drowning prevention, Kristin is helping families understand that swim lessons are only one part of the picture. We’ll talk about why parents often overestimate swimming ability, the importance of adaptive aquatics, and why swimming may be one of the most valuable investments a family can make for a child’s future. We’ll also discuss why Kristin calls swimming “the first and forever sport” and how it can build confidence, discipline, emotional health, and life-saving skills that last far beyond the pool.
