“This application is truly revolutionary for our industry. You see apps like this with restaurants and retail locations but it’s revolutionary for a swim program to be embracing technology like this to make the lives of the parents easier. We want to make our program as seamless as possible for parents so that they continue to come and teach their children how to survive in the event of a water emergency.” -  Rita Goldberg, CEO & Founder of British Swim School.
