Raleigh, NC 
Most families in the Raleigh area sign their kids up for swimming classes so they can learn how to swim and gain valuable water safety skills. But did you know that swimming classes at an early age can also help your child reach major milestones faster?
A study performed by the Griffith Institute for Educational Research in 2003 concluded that kids enrolled in swimming classes performed significantly better than the typical population in every major milestone.
For example, the average child will be able to speak clearly enough for strangers to understand between 61-72 months. But research has shown that children enrolled in swimming classes reach this milestone as early as 25 months—an amazing 36 months earlier on average!
But that’s just the start. Significant improvements can also be seen in other major milestones, including:
- Separating easily from parents 18 months earlier
- Following two or three word commands and simple instructions 12 months earlier
- Cooperating with other children and climbing well 24 months earlier
- Learning water survival skills 34 months earlier
While it’s hard to pinpoint the exact reason why swimming classes make kids smarter, it could have to do with their repetitive nature. At British Swim School Raleigh, students are exposed to language and counting and learn how to take turns, cooperate with other students in their class, and listen to their teacher’s instructions. Swimming also improves motor skills, coordination, and the ability to focus.

At British Swim School Raleigh, we believe the benefits of learning to swim are too valuable for classes to only be held during the summer.

Our swimming classes are open to kids of all ages and abilities, from infants as young as three months to toddlers, tweens, and teens.
