‘Learn to Swim’ Provider Awards New Location to Del Cuellar

ANNAPOLIS, MD. (PRWEB) June 27, 2022 - British Swim School continues its expansion with the opening of its newest franchise location in Annapolis, Maryland and the greater Anne Arundel County area.

The latest British Swim School location is owned and operated by Del Cuellar, a former café manager and retail banker. Cuellar, a Maryland native, wanted to move beyond the banking industry and build a legacy of his own. He joined the British Swim School team in November, and through a national partnership with LA Fitness, Cuellar is thrilled that his first location is now open. Community members are welcome to sign up for lessons at the pool located in Crofton, approximately 11 miles northwest of Annapolis. Cuellar already has plans to expand with an additional pool in the near future.

“British Swim School makes a difference in countless lives across the United States and Canada,” said Cuellar. “Their mission to teach life-saving skills one lesson at a time really caught my attention. When searching for a franchise that aligned with my core values, British Swim School was unmatched. I wanted to create a business that is purpose driven, and with this opportunity, I hope to have a hand in making a difference in the lives of those we serve.”

For more than 40 years, British Swim School has been dedicated to teaching water survival skills by teaching infants, children and adults of all ages the skills needed for water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development. Its mission — ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.

Across the nation, eleven people die every day from unintentional drownings, with nearly 4,000 deaths occurring each year. Research shows that participation in formal swim programs, such as those offered by British Swim School, can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children who are most at risk for deaths caused by drowning. However, the risk of drowning isn’t limited to children: a Red Cross survey found that more than half of all Americans (54%) either can’t swim or don’t have the basic swimming skills needed to save themselves in the event of a water emergency.

To counter these alarming statistics, Cuellar is eager to offer British Swim School’s effective swim lessons and prominent life saving techniques at his Crofton location. No matter the age, he’s determined to equip anyone seeking improvement with the necessary water skills to survive an emergency. He added that our lessons are not only a fun activity, but they also teach a lifelong skill.

“Through our swim curriculum, British Swim School offers more progressive-based lessons rather than your average swim sessions,” said Cuellar. “When teaching children or adults to swim, we ensure they have learned water survival and other critical skills before advancing them to the next level. What I love about British Swim School is how we help students acquire what they need in the event of an emergency. We don’t just send them off to the next class level because they finished a certain number of sessions; they must learn the skills required to move forward, and that’s what makes our services so unique.”

“Del is a great addition to the British Swim School family," said Ashley Gundlach, British Swim School President.
