Dive into the New School Year with Swimming Lessons

Aug 12, 2024 | Blog
The summer holidays are in full swing, but it won't be long until thoughts turn to back to school! While shopping for school supplies and uniforms are important, it is also a great opportunity to consider enrolling in back-to-school swimming lessons.
Learning to swim is a fantastic way to get children active, building confidence, and raising awareness of safety around water. Find out why swimming lessons are a brilliant extracurricular activity.

Stay Active and Healthy:

Swimming is a fantastic full-body workout that engages muscles, improves cardiovascular health, and boosts endurance. By enrolling in swimming lessons, your child can stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle as they transition back to the routine of the school year.

 

Build Confidence and Learn a Skill:

Swimming is an important life skill that can offer benefits that go beyond just physical fitness. Learning how to swim not only builds confidence in the water but also helps to develop their strength, flexibility, and balance. By taking swimming lessons before school starts, your child can develop a new skill and gain confidence that can positively impact their achievements throughout the school year.

Improves Water Safety Skills:

Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children. By learning how to swim, children not only improve their safety around water but also gain the skills to potentially save themselves in an emergency, such as learning how to tread water and how to float.

 

It is Great Fun:

Swimming is not just a life-saving skill, it is also fantastic for a child’s mental wellbeing. It's a chance for children to unwind, have fun, and make new friends in a safe and supportive environment. The last couple of months have revolved around a different routine due to the summer holidays. Incorporating swim lessons as an activity is ideal for getting them back into a routine and letting off steam after school.

Swimming lessons provide a fantastic opportunity for children to stay active, confident, and safe as they go into the new school year. Whether your child is a complete beginner or is looking to improve their swimming skills, the benefits of swimming lessons extend far beyond the pool. So, why not make a splash this back-to-school season by diving into the world of swimming lessons?
