5 Reasons Why Every Child Needs Swim Lessons 1) Learning to swim is a life skill – one that just may save your child’s life.

Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injuryrelated death for children ages 1-14 (Source: CDC). Research shows that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88 percent among children aged one to four years. (Source: Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine 2009). Teaching children to swim is a vital skill for drowning prevention.

2) It Boosts Development of the Whole Child What parent wouldn’t want their child/children to have accelerated development physically, intellectually, and emotionally. For children swimming consistently from infancy, scientific studies have found that these “swim kids” were significantly stronger and more coordinated than non-swimming kids. They scored higher for intelligence and problem solving.

Emotionally, swim kids were found to be more self-disciplined, displayed greater self-control and showed increased desire to succeed. Swim kids also rated higher in self-esteem and were discovered to be more independent and comfortable in social situations than the control groups. (Source: Scientific Benefits of Baby Swim Lessons 2012).

3) Creates a strong parent-child bond.

There is nothing like the sensation of water on the skin to enhance connection and building trust with your child. When started as infants in formal swim lessons, this bond is even stronger as parents are taught how to incorporate fun and games, as well as life saving skills, into the family swimming experience.

4) It keeps your children active and healthy.

With childhood obesity on the rise, swimming is not only fun, but it levels the playing field for kids. They can be any shape or size and still enjoy the benefits of buoyancy in the water. They do not have to compete or standout, they can do it on their own terms, with their own goals, and in their own time. Swimming can open a door to an active lifestyle one stroke at a time.

5) Sets them up for unlimited water adventures throughout life.

Once the love of water foundation has been set and children know how to swim, it opens the door for many other learning adventures water can provide: swim team activities; triathlons; snorkeling/scuba diving; surfing; water skiing; white water rafting; and simply having a good time with friends in the water.
