Toddler Swimming Lessons in Chicago: Fun, Safe and Effective!

Swim Instructor teaching a toddler swimming lesson

Toddler swimming lessons in Chicago introduce children to the water in a safe and controlled environment, reducing their fear and building confidence. While toddlers may not be ready to learn advanced swimming strokes, participating in swimming lessons helps to build a strong foundation for basic swim readiness skills and independence in the water. Additionally, according to a study conducted in 2009, formal swimming lessons reduce the risk of drowning for 1- to 4-year-old children by 88%.

Bottom line: children are safest when they begin learning to swim early in life!
