WHALE Tales

WHALE Tales - Water Safety Program

FREE to Nursery Schools, Day Cares and Elementary Schools

WHALE Tales, an acronym for Water Habits Are Learned Early, is a Red Cross Water Safety Program which focuses on safety habits for anywhere there is water such as a pool, lake, pond or ocean.

Simple rhymes, such as "Be Cool, Follow the Rules" or "Don't Just Pack It, Wear Your Jacket" are presented in a format suitable for the age of the audience in either a video, story or discussion format. Our water safety educator will come to your school or day care.The presentation length is tailored to suit the ages of the children and can be anywhere from 20-45 minutes.

The classroom or preschool teacher must  call Swim-in Zone to schedule a day and time convenient to the class and school schedule. We will send our Water Safety Educator out to present the program. Each student will get a coloring sheet reinforcing one of the principles, a Swim-in Zone brochure and a coupon for $10 off a pair of goggles with swim lessons sign-up.
