Why is Swimming Good for Children

Child safety and a basic proficiency in the water is an essential life skill. Factors such as personal safety, ability to get out of difficult situations and confidence in the water

are addressed in swimming lessons. Many OT issues are treated with swimming as a compliment to the therapy.

With this in mind it is best to get the little ones water safe as soon as possible. As a  lifesaving skill, it grows their overall self-confidence.

Getting ones child water safe early will also help with the anxiety of play dates where there is a pool on the property.

Once a child has learnt to swim it is like riding a bicycle, ,you never forget it. The skill set learnt at swimming and the class situation teachers’ a child social skills as they need to

interact in the group.  Emotional and sensory development, sequencing, listening, following instructions, focus and processing skills etc.
