  Swim School News

Maintaining consistency and frequency in swimming is more than just water safety. Ongoing swim lessons in the early years can help your toddler grow into a healthy, smart, capable learner of the future.
Backed up by research from Griffith University, evidence shows that toddlers who maintain regular swimming lessons enjoy additional positive impacts on their physical, psychological, and cognitive development. All of which are actively monitored in the early learning years of a child.

The research shows that toddlers participating in regular swimming lessons are, on average, seven months ahead in motor skill development, and 10 months ahead in cognitive development. Meaning swimming babies learn to draw, hold objects, build with blocks, and write, read and solve problems faster. As well as an improved propensity for language and social and emotional aptitude are some of the sideline benefits of learning to swim early.
