Today at Buckeye Swim School, we had the pleasure of hosting the field trip group with the Lawrence Funderburke Youth Organization!

Rick and Laurie shared their story on how and why Buckeye Swim School started along with the in’s and out’s of entrepreneurship. And most importantly, the importance of water safety.

The Lawrence Funderburke Youth Organization specializes in empowerment-based programs and learning experiences to close the troubling opportunity, academic, and economic gaps in our society.

Although Water Safety Month is over, we’re still keeping kids safe this summer.

At Buckeye Swim School, safety is our top priority. We follow an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to ensure the highest safety protocols. Ensure an EAP in every body of water! 🌊 Parents, create peace of mind by forming an EAP — because preparedness keeps kids safe and confident in the water. Dive into summer with safety first!
