New Floreo lesson! Pool Party Safety 2: The Challenge is Here! 🏖️

We’re making a splash with the exciting release of Pool Party Safety 2: The Challenge! This brand-new Floreo lesson builds on the fun and learning of our original pool safety experience with more decision-making challenges and skill-building opportunities to help Learners practice how to stay safe around water.

Pool Party Safety 2: The Challenge is more than just a fun, seasonal lesson: it’s an important tool for helping Learners build real-world safety awareness in environments that can be unpredictable and high-risk.

Teaching water safety in traditional ways can be difficult. The sensory complexity of pools, unpredictability of peer behavior, and limited opportunities to practice safely make it hard to prepare learners for real scenarios. This new lesson empowers users to experience realistic poolside situations. It encourages learners to identify safe vs. unsafe behavior and gain confidence with support from caregivers, therapists, or educators.

And you can also enjoy the exciting addition of Pets and Friends, a new experience from our wonderful partners at Wild Immersion.
