Reasons that your child should Learn to Swim
The reasons why your child should learn to swim are many and varied. The most important reason is that swimming is the only sport which can save your child’s life.
Drowning is still one of the most common causes of accidental death in children, so being able to swim is an essential life-saving skill. It’s important to remember that children who appear water confident are not always competent swimmers.
Other reasons why your child should learn to swim:
- Swimming is lots of fun for people of all ages and children especially love getting in the water and enjoying themselves.
- Swimming also provides loads of health benefits which can help to keep your children healthy and happy at the same time.
- Children of any age or ability can take part and it is more accessible for children with additional needs than almost any other sport.
- Swimming provides challenges and rewards accomplishments, which helps children to become self-confident and believe in their abilities.
- Your child will have plenty of opportunities to make friends and grow in confidence.
Learning to swim also opens up the door to a range of other activities.
