The earlier the better! Research suggests that the earlier one starts their children in swim lessons the more significant the benefits benefits are, such as:
- Boosts development of the whole child (early year round lessons for young children accelerated their development physically, intellectually, and emotionally).
- Children who swim consistently from infancy are significantly stronger and more coordinated.
- Children scored higher for intelligence and problem solving, which carries over into excellent academic achievement.
- Emotionally, children have been found to have more self-discipline, greater self-control and an increase in desire to succeed.
- Children rated higher in self-esteem and were more independent and comfortable in social situations than non-swimmers.
- Swim lessons for babies and toddlers improve their physical development.
- Baby swimmers develop better balance, movement and grasping techniques than non-swimmers.
