Swimming Aides in Development

Researchers have reported that infant/toddler swimming lessons can and will increase physical, emotional, and social growth.  The weightless environment provides a perfect environment for freedom of movement that cannot be had in any other physical activity.

Cognitive development is increased due to the greater amount of stimulation uniquely offered through swim lessons.  We have found that infants and toddlers who are in swim lessons routinely reach developmental milestones at younger ages and with greater proficiency than the national averages project. This also holds true for children 12 months and above.  The effects of swim lessons for older children vary from increased levels of motor development (both gross and fine), and coordination to greater confidence and levels of concentration in school studies as well as other sports.
