Hudson Valley Swim Jacksonville

A fun day by the pool can change in an instant. That's why water safety starts long before anyone gets in the water.

Formal swimming lessons help swimmers build confidence, strengthen essential safety skills, and prepare for the unexpected.

Even if your child knows how to swim, ask yourself: Are they a strong swimmer?

Happy Independence Day from Hudson Valley Swim! 🇺🇸

Whether you're celebrating at the pool, beach, lake, or just in your backyard, we hope your holiday is full of fun, family, and safe memories.

A few quick water safety reminders:
💙 Always keep young swimmers within arm's reach.
💙 Designate a distraction-free Water Watcher.
💙 Never rely on floaties alone.
💙 Wear a life jacket when boating.

A little preparation can make all the difference.

Wishing you a splash-filled Fourth of July as we celebrate 250 years of America! ❤️🤍💙

Confidence in the water is important, but supervision is irreplaceable. 💙

Even strong swimmers can become tired, distracted, or find themselves in an unexpected situation. Water safety starts with swimming skills, but it doesn't end there.

A watchful adult is one of the most important layers of protection, every time you're around the water.

Many parents spend time researching life jackets, swim lessons, and pool fences, but one of the simplest water safety considerations is often overlooked: visibility.

No single safety measure is enough on its own, but together they can make a big difference. 💙

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, and father figures who cheer from the pool deck, celebrate every milestone, and help build confidence one lesson at a time. 💙

Thank you for being part of your swimmer’s journey and helping create a lifetime of water safety, confidence, and fun.

From all of us at Hudson Valley Swim, we wish you a Happy Father’s Day!

Today we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, honors resilience, and reflects on the ongoing journey toward equality.

At Hudson Valley Swim, we believe every swimmer deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and build confidence in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Wishing our families, students, and community a meaningful Juneteenth. ❤️💛💚

For autistic children, water safety can look different than many families, schools, and communities expect.

Even children who avoid baths or swim lessons may still be drawn to pools, ponds, lakes, canals, or other nearby water. And when a child with autism goes missing, one message can make all the difference:

Search nearby water first.

In our next AngelSense Live panel, we’re bringing together voices from advocacy, policy, clinical care, and lived parent experience to talk about what real water safety planning needs to include - beyond “watch them closely” or “sign them up for swim lessons.”

You’ll hear from:

💧 Lori McIlwain of the National Autism Safety Council, on why water risk can look different for autistic children and what families and first responders need to know.

💧 Stacey Hoaglund of Disability Advocacy and Support Specialists, on access, equity, swim instruction, legislation, and why drowning prevention is also a disability-access issue.

💧 Melissa Schiefelbein, BCBA and Clinical Lead at AngelSense, on how families can build realistic safety plans around behavior patterns, communication needs, elopement risk, sensory needs, and assistive technology.

Moderated by Rick Loewenstein, this conversation will focus on practical, layered protection families, providers, educators, and policymakers can actually use.
