California deems swimming lessons ESSENTIAL Yesterday we learned that California has officially recognized swim schools as an essential business. This means that regardless of which COVID Tier we may be in, we get to Just Keep Swimming! This is an amazing victory for swim schools across California! Unfortunately, we still do not know what this will mean for our SF school but we will continue to work with the SF Health Department on getting a reopening date and guidelines....

September is Baby Safety Month! In the US, drowning is the leading cause of injury death in children 1 to 4 years of age. Year-round swim lessons can reduce that risk by up to 88%. Drowning prevention is a family activity, and Baby & Me swimming lessons is the first step towards water safety! At La Petite Baleen, we are committed to quality swim lessons and educating our swim families on being safer in and around water.... Some Water Safety Basics: Supervision is #1. Never leave a child unattended near water. Enroll in weekly swim lessons. CPR and First Aid training for all parents and caregivers. Drain tubs, buckets, kiddie pools immediately after use. Lock hot tubs, pool gates, toilets, and restrict all access to bodies of water. #lapetitebaleen #babysafety #babysafetymonth

Visiting the beach today? Be Whaley careful!! "Remember that a tsunami isn't likely to look like a classic 'breaking wave;' it's more of a massive surge of water that can rise quickly and with great power," said the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency.

#Repost @usswimschool Indoor swimming pools can be a safer choice when looking for an activity for your child. Learning to swim is also a life skill. Thank you Desert Aire for sharing this important information. #WinWin #Learn2Swim #WaterSafety #WellVentilatedAir

Today La Petite Baleen celebrates 42 years of teaching swimming lessons! The original swim school opened in the backyard of Irene Madrid and John Kolbisen’s Half Moon Bay home in 1979. With backgrounds in early child development, a belief that children should learn to swim early on, and the help of their local community, La Petite Baleen’s child development-focused curriculum came to life. Their approach was unique and ahead of its time. Four decades later, LPB’s award-winnin...g curriculum continues to be recognized as a leader in the learn-to-swim industry. Eventually, La Petite Baleen moved from the backyard to its current downtown Half Moon Bay location. The word began to spread, and for many years folks came from all over the greater Bay Area to the Half Moon Bay Coastside for their swim lessons. By popular demand, the San Bruno location opened in 1996. LPB found great success in the growing number of loyal swim families and employees the LPB Pod. In 2008, a third location was opened in the Presidio of San Francisco, followed by the opening of the Redwood City location in 2013. With four locations, thousands of students enrolled per week, and over 200 employees, there’s no denying that we’ve come a long way since the backyard swim school days. While so much has changed over the years, the core of LPB remains the same as we strive to be of value to our community. At La Petite Baleen, we aspire to continue doing what we’ve always been known to do so well: teach swimming lessons in a fun and developmentally appropriate way. The icing on our 42nd birthday cake is that the thing we love doing the most is also keeping the children in our community safer. Of course, La Petite Baleen wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for all the LPB Swim Parents out there who have invested in giving their children a lifelong gift. We know that coming to weekly swim lessons, for years, takes a great deal of devotion and patience. We are thankful for our customers who make the commitment to reinforce their children’s safety and well-being. Thank you for trusting us, for telling your friends and family about us, and for helping us reach this celebratory milestone. You rock!
