For children, learning to swim is a vital safety skill that also promotes physical fitness, coordination, and confidence. Engaging in swimming lessons from a young age helps kids develop a healthy relationship with water, ensuring they are comfortable and capable in various aquatic environments.

Why Learn to Swim?
Learning to swim is crucial for safety and provides a lifetime of benefits. Swimming can save lives by preventing drowning and improving water safety awareness. It’s an essential skill for enjoying various water activities safely. Beyond safety, swimming is an excellent form of exercise that works almost every muscle group in the body, providing a full-body workout that enhances cardiovascular health, builds muscle strength, and improves flexibility. Additionally, swimming can have profound mental health benefits, including reducing stress, boosting mood, and promoting relaxation. The meditative rhythm of swimming can help clear the mind, making it a great way to unwind and decompress.
1. It’s essential to safety
According to the National Safe Kids Campaign, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death to children ages one through 14. It is absolutely crucial that all kids know how to swim at a young age. There is water all around us, even if it’s as small as a bathtub. Making sure that your child is comfortable in and around water is essential to their safety.
I’ve been swimming since I was three years old, and almost all of my teammates began just as early. Even if your child isn’t interested in competitive swimming, ensuring your child knows how to swim should be done as early as possible. Their interest in the actual sport is just an added benefit!
2. It’s a low-impact sport
Swimming is obviously low-impact, as it’s performed in water. According to Bucknell University, the body is 90 percent buoyant when in the water up to your neck, so you’re not hitting the ground with the weight you carry on land. Swimming is the ideal sport for the well being of one’s body in the long run.
Yes, anything in excess can cause your body to break down, so swimming injuries are common. But if you get a shoulder injury, you may still kick during practice to stay in shape. This isn’t so easy in other sports, where you often have to stop the sport all together because of the impact.
In swimming, you can often just rest the injured part of your body, and still use the healthy part of you in the pool. The most common swimming injuries are from overuse, showing that swimming is a generally very easy on one’s body as opposed to a critical injury such as a sprain or break from running or jumping.
Note: The lack of serious injuries from swimming does not include dryland training, where often clumsy and uncoordinated fish out of water (also known as swimmers) are more likely to injure themselves.
3. Focused Supervision
Swimming lessons should guarantee your kid’s safety in the water. Focused supervision is a very important water safety habit. Most of the kids who drown are not expected to be swimming at the time of the accident. Therefore, it is imperative to block access to a swimming pool during a non-swimming time.
Whether your kid is swimming in the ocean or pool, you should always be alert when they are in the water. Keep an eye and stay close to them all the time. Remember, kids, love to try dives, flips and all kinds of tricks in water. This makes it more dangerous to allow them to swim on their own.
4. Swimming is an incredible workout
The sport involves moving multiple muscle groups in a high-intensity, cardio workout. All four strokes involve working different muscle groups. Often times, children and adults take up swimming for weight loss. It burns calories quickly, and is easier for overweight people to pick up because it’s low-impact. According to Bucknell, swimming offers 12 to 14 percent more resistance training than life on land- offering an exceptionally challenging workout.
Aside from weight loss, introducing your child to swimming early on will promote a healthy life. Once he or she learns to swim, they may hop in a pool at any point in their life to get a low-risk, high-intensity workout.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, swimming can help with chronic diseases and mental health. Water-based exercising like swimming improves the use of joints affected by arthritis.
The CDC also states that “Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections.” Swimming also releases endorphins, which aid in decreasing depression and improving moods.
5. The value of teamwork is learned along with individuality
College athletes admit that post-graduation, they miss their team and the hours spent together while training and traveling. In an article I previously wrote, I stated the significance of using your teammates to help you get through the hardest times, because your friends on the team endure the same hard work that you do every day. From this shared experience, swimmers learn to support their teammates, which creates a positive atmosphere. This is a skill that can be carried throug life into the workplace and beyond.
But teamwork is learned in plenty of sports, so why is swimming special? The great thing about swimming is that there is also an individual aspect to it. In competitive swimming, you learn self-motivation and goal setting/reaching. Swimmers have their own personal set of times for their events.
At each meet, competitive swimmers try to beat their personal best times, while at the same time swimming for their team as a whole. In high school and college swimming, the primary motivation is to earn points for your team so they can win the meet. I always swam on a club team in high school instead swimming for my school. So when I reached college swimming, I realized the gravity of teamwork and support, and I was able to push myself to a new level. Swimming packages teamwork and individuality into one sport.
