Swimming classes for kids in Chicago teach critical skills that children will use for their entire lives! The biggest benefit of learning to swim is safety, but swimming classes can also promote fun and social confidence. Additionally, swimming classes can help to teach children how to behave safely around the water, whether at the pool or outside of lessons. Safety experts encourage parents to enroll their children in swimming classes but before you sign up, do some research to ensure classes teach survival skills and are sized to prevent overcrowding!
