Be knowledgeable and aware

Most youngsters grow up on land don't know the water and its environment. None are born with the knowledge and instincts. A duck, a fish, an amphibian, -- sea birds -- they know how to swim and what to do, generally, unlike humans.

Kids are top heavy, unaware, easily distracted and delicate. Only a few moments in the water can lead to life-changing results and worse, perhaps death.

We can hope for good luck and good fortune throughout the entire year. That's the meaning of the hex sign at the top of this lesson. But, let's prepare our youth and give them the insights and knowledge so that they can make better decisions when confronted with different aquatic settings.

Life is a Team Sport

Each quiz can be taken with the help of a friend or guardian. The questions can be launch points for further discussions.

Advance -- if you can

This page lists four buttons, each to a different quiz level. Explore. When visitors to the SKWIM.us site start the quiz progression from the home page, only Level 1 Quiz is available.

All are encouraged to get a perfect score on every test.

Lucky - or- Smart? Rather, be both.

Let's prepare and have the knowledge and wisdom to respond with critical, water-safety decisions that can keep us alive and healthy.
