Early Swimming Lessons
Multiple Investment Returns
Water safety, life skills & advancing primary school education
In addition to water safety and helping your child foster a healthier lifestyle, a Griffith University study concluded that swimming lessons can also advance your child’s education.
Their study of 7,000 children under the age of 5, showed that “children who learn to swim at a young age are reaching many developmental milestones earlier than the norm.”
Specifically, 3 to 5 year olds in swimming lessons, compared with the average population of same-aged children not in swimming lessons, were:
- 11 months ahead in verbal skills
- 6 months ahead in math skills
- 2 months ahead in literacy skills
- 17 months ahead in story recall
- 20 months ahead in understanding directions
Our lessons include singing and counting. Constant repetition of swim skills helps build muscle memory. We’re very focused on teaching a child to understand and follow directions. Group social skills are practised. Learning to share and how not to be distracted by others. We can see a direct correlation between our Pre-Schooler Program and a primary school curriculum!
