Renaissance Inc. (President and CEO: Misao Mochizuki; Head Office: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter 'the Company') will hold 'Clothed Swimming Classes' open to local residents from June to August 2026 with the aim of preventing water accidents, which increase in summer. In addition, during the final week of June, a 'Clothed Swimming Lesson' will be conducted for junior swimming school members at Sports Club Renaissance nationwide.
The Company will continue to actively promote water accident prevention initiatives in addition to providing the joy of swimming.
■ Background and Purpose of Renaissance's Clothed Swimming
During the summer vacation period, the increase in leisure opportunities near water raises concerns about water accidents.
While the Company's junior swimming school aims to teach swimming skills, water accidents in seas and rivers often occur in situations different from regular lessons, such as 'wearing clothes' or 'not wearing goggles.' In light of this, the Company aims to provide local residents, school members' children, and their parents with knowledge and response methods to prevent water accidents that cannot be covered by swimming skills alone, offering an opportunity to prepare for emergencies before summer break. This initiative is conducted annually.
■ 'Clothed Swimming Classes' for Local Residents
From May to August 2026, 'Clothed Swimming Classes' (paid) will be held at 129 locations nationwide, targeting local residents, with the aim of deepening knowledge on water accident prevention.
In these classes, participants can learn more practical methods of water accident prevention. Programs are tailored to diverse audiences, such as elementary school students, parent-child pairs, and adults, depending on the store.
By experiencing knowledge and actions to protect lives from water accidents—which are difficult to acquire through regular swimming lessons—the Company aims to provide an opportunity to safeguard precious lives ahead of summer.
■ 'Clothed Swimming Lesson' for Renaissance Junior Swimming School Members
A 'Clothed Swimming Lesson' will be held during the special week at the end of June, targeting junior swimming school members.
The 'Clothed Swimming Lesson' teaches the 'float and wait' response method in case of a water accident and allows participants to experience walking and swimming in water while wearing clothes. For children who are absent on the day, summary materials will be posted and distributed in the facility later.
