Olympic Swimmers Visit Schools to Teach Importance of Safety in the Water | KPLC 7NEWS

In honor of National Water Safety Month, USA Swimming has embarked on its Make a Splash Tour. Today they stopped in Lake Charles to teach kids the importance of safety in the water.

“If we can just preach water safety, healthy respect for the water, we’ve done a good job here,” said Nathan Adrian.

Whether you swim in the ocean or in a pool, you must always remember to stay safe. Who better to teach swimming safety than Olympic swimmers?

“You know, water is part of the fabric of who we are, you know, and we all started to learn how to swim at a very early age,” said Rowdy Gaines.
