  • move safely and confidently through the water — a great asset at any beach, lake or pool.
  • Safety in the water: No parent wants to worry about a child drowning, and swim time may lower the risks of that happening. 
  • More confidence: Our swimming classes for toddlers, infants and other kids give your son or daughter exposure to group activities, teach social skills and can create more confidence for the future.
  • Physical activity: It’s always good for kids to exercise. Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout, as well as a tool for promoting muscle development and control.

 

The above examples are only the beginning of benefits from swimming. Kids who take swimming classes may also improve coordination, sleep better and have healthier appetites, too. Enroll your child to learn more.
