Swimming lessons are a great idea for children, no matter their age. However, getting your child comfortable in the water early is very important for a number of reasons. At British Swim School, we will teach your child to understand the dangers of the water and how to avoid potentially dangerous situations. We want your little one to be prepared if an accident does happen, so they will also learn how to stay afloat and how to control their breathing. Still not sure if lessons are for you and your child? Read on for how swim lessons can benefit your little one in other ways!
1. Improved Cognitive and Motor Skills
Your infant’s cognitive functions and motor skills are developed and impacted each and every day as they interact with the world around them. If you added structured swimming lessons to their weekly routine, imagine the benefits it will have on your little one’s development!
Your child will be given directions by the instructor and will have to use reason in the pool. Both of these skill sets will improve your infant’s cognitive development significantly.
Swimming is also one of the best physical activities because it works every muscle. This means your little one’s motor skills will develop rapidly during swim lessons. After a few sessions, your child will even develop muscle memory which will help them recall physical motions easily and will also keep them safe in the water.
2. Improved Social and Emotional Skills
Through swim lessons at British Swim School, your infant will will develop social and emotional skills that will last forever!
They will constantly interact with instructors as well as other children who are in their class and at other special events. This will make your little one emotionally and socially stronger over time.
3. Improved Safety Skills
The younger your child is when you give them swim lessons, the less afraid they will be of the water. Lessons at British Swim School will teach your child that water is fun! Your little one will also begin to understand the difference between deep and shallow water, which will make it less likely for them to venture into a dangerous situation on their own.
Your infant’s swimming lessons will involve floating on their back and controlled breathing, which are important safety skills. However, British Swim School also offers swimming lessons for older children and even adults! Each program has specific goals in mind for each targeted age. Once kids (or adults) have grown enough in the program to swim on their own, they will be comfortable in the water and ready to conquer the world!
