We know that certain activities can significantly strengthen the cognitive and physical abilities children rely on as they grow. Swim lessons are emerging as one of those impactful activities.
A four-year study by the Griffith Institute for Educational Research in Australia found that early childhood swim lessons offer far greater developmental benefits than previously understood.
Researchers observed that children who participated in regular swim lessons were developmentally ahead of their peers in several key areas:
While many parents notice increased confidence and social skills, swim lessons also support cognitive development. Because swimming is fun and low-pressure, children naturally absorb more information and respond well to learning opportunities.
At the pool, children practice counting, follow multi-step instructions, communicate differently with peers and instructors, and build confidence as they master new skills all of which support their intellectual growth.
