We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including responding to requests, maintaining business records, and meeting legal/accounting requirements.

6) Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Water Safety Challenges

To reinforce BraveSwim™ survival skills, we offer optional, age-appropriate Water Safety Challenges at no additional cost: 

During these challenges, swimmers practice applying their survival skills fully clothed — entering the water and demonstrating age-appropriate safety responses in more realistic conditions. 

Water Safety Challenges are offered on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Please check with your local Catch the Wave office for upcoming dates and availability.
