Researchers have documented that the stimulating effect of child-paced infant/toddler swimming lessons has the potential to increase intelligence, concentration, alertness, and perceptual abilities. Improvement in social, emotional and physical development has also been published. Of course, the demonstration of such inspired cognitive, personal and motor development takes time, patience and repetition.
Safety skills are a primary reason why many people initially enroll in lessons. The younger a child can begin their swimming adventure the sooner they will be able to build a foundation for the eventual ability to perform age appropriate safety skills (We never imposing techniques on a child against their will or with the use of force). We must note that it is always the parents' responsibility to ensure the safety of their children.
