The BENEFITS of CHILDREN and INFANTS SWIMMING

Recent research has established that infant swimming is a beneficial activity for an infant’s development and health.

Physically: A child who encounters regular water exercises develops significant muscle strength and muscle coordination.

Psychologically: Swimming with an infant as part of a regular swimming program, has proved immensely beneficial to the infant's mental development. The American Academy of Pediatrics conducted a study in 2007, and has claimed that infants who had been introduced to water exercises earlier than others scored higher in intelligence, has gained excellent alertness and coordination and problem-solving skills.

Emotionally: Research has shown that infants who swim more often tend to be more self-disciplined, motivated and also self-confident.
