Background

DROWNING:
THE #1 CAUSE OF CHILD DEATHS

British Swim School Founder Rita Goldberg, as a former competitive swimmer, knew all too well the dangers associated with children and water. Indeed, it is the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of five. Rita set out to do something about it. She spent years creating revolutionary water survival techniques for infants and children, and now, together with a growing number of British Swim School Franchise Owners around the country, has likely saved countless lives through our safe, gentle and fun learn-to-swim program.

STATIC ITEM #2

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
