Toddler Swimming Lessons in Baltimore: Why Year Round Lessons are Important

Many parents consider swimming lessons a “summer” activity. So when the fall season comes to Baltimore, we get a lot of questions regarding when to begin toddler swimming lessons.

At British Swim School Patapsco Valley, we believe that kids and adults should have access to water safety and survival instruction every month of the year. That’s why all our swimming lessons are available year-round and include water safety and survival skills in every session. Our toddler swimming lessons are taught in heated, indoor pools that are conveniently located for families throughout Patapsco County, including Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Elkridge, Ellicott City, and Cantonsville, MD.

Year-round swimming lessons offer a number of important benefits, including:

• No skill regression – Seasonal lessons include long breaks that make skill regression common, but year-round lessons provide consistent instruction and repetition, giving students the opportunity to master skills and advance faster.
• It’s an excellent form of exercise in any season – Swimming uses more major muscle groups in the body than any other form of aerobic activity. It also strengthens muscles, improves balance, and provides the perfect outlet for toddlers with endless energy.
• Water safety is critical year-round – Above all is safety. Drowning is a risk every month of the year for toddlers across the country, including right here in Baltimore. That’s why toddler swimming lessons from British Swim School Patapsco Valley are available year round and always include water safety and survival instruction in every session.
• Increase mental, emotional & cognitive performance – Children who develop aquatic skills at early ages generally also benefit mentally, emotionally, and cognitively. Aquatic exercise allows children to boost blood flow to the brain, which can improve memory, focus, and clarity. The earlier this begins, the better it will improve as the child grows.
