The Benefits of Swimming Lessons for Kids in Baltimore
Learning to swim is an obvious benefit of swimming lessons, but kids enrolled at British Swim School Patapsco Valley enjoy a full range of health and safety benefits.
The most important benefit is safety. Our highly trained, certified instructors utilize unique fun and gentle teaching methods to provide swimming lessons for kids throughout the Baltimore area. Our talented team of swim instructors give the instruction, practice, and skills needed to be safe in the water and handle emergencies.
Swimming is also a full-body cardiovascular workout that builds strength and improves coordination while improving mood and reducing stress and anxiety. And because kids love the water, swimming is an easy way to keep them active.
There are also social benefits to swimming lessons. Kids learn teamwork and sportsmanship. By watching their peers and cheering them on, they learn how to be part of a group, take turns, and follow direction, all critical skills for social development and school readiness. For older kids and teens, knowing how to swim can help them join in social activities in and around water with confidence.
Don’t forget to swim more than one time per week! Numerous studies show that swimming just twice per week can allow the child to grasp the skills three times as quickly as their peers who only swim once per week. Swimming multiple times a week can also speed or improve your child’s cognitive development in other areas.
