6 Things Chicago Kids Get Out of Youth Swimming Lessons

As a parent, you already know that youth swimming lessons at British Swim School Downtown Chicago will be beneficial for your child. What you might not realize is just how many different ways youth swimming lessons can benefit young swimmers.

Simply put, swimming has a lot to offer for your child. Water safety skills. Physical activity. Even improved academic performance. Here are six of the biggest benefits to youth swimming lessons with British Swim School Downtown Chicago…

1. Youth Swimming Lessons Make Chicago Kids Safer

Water is a serious danger for kids of all ages, with children under the age of five at the biggest risk. Youth swimming lessons are the best way for Chicago’s youngest swimmers to learn important water safety skills. In fact, studies have shown that children aged 1-4 who take swimming lessons are 88% less at risk of drowning than their peers.

2. Swimming Lessons Teach Cooperation & Teamwork

Youth swimming lessons at British Swim School Downtown Chicago include a number of team-based games and activities. Young swimmers who learn how to swim with us will develop important cooperative and teamwork skills. These skills can help them excel in school, team sports, and later in life.

3. Classes Help Chicago Parents Get Kids Active

Chicago parents who want to encourage their kids to be active will find the perfect outlet in youth swimming lessons. Kids have so much fun learning to swim they don’t even realize all the physical benefits that swimming offers, like improved coordination, stronger muscles, and better heart health.

4. Youth Swimming Lessons Encourage Self-Motivation

There are few life skills more important than learning how to set and follow-through on important goals. Youth swimming lessons at British Swim School Downtown Chicago encourage self-motivational skills in young swimmers. As kids move from water survival, to basic skills, to advanced swimming lessons, we help them develop the confidence, discipline, and focus they need to succeed.

5. Swimming Lessons Drive Academic Achievement

Multiple studies have shown a clear link between swimming lessons and academic performance. On average, kids who stick with youth swimming lessons outperform their peers and hit important academic milestones at an earlier age.

6. Chicago Kids Have More Fun Through Swimming

A trip to the pool or the beach just isn’t as much fun when kids don’t have strong swimming skills.
