Just a few baby sharks learning how to submerge!

Learning to swim:

It’s more than just swimming. It’s having the courage to try, to step in and over come any fears or judgments.

It’s important to teach every child the fundamentals of being in the water and the opportunities it unlocks from being a competent swimmer.

From using your swimming skills to enjoy other water sports, to knowing how to calm your inner voice and use breathing techniques to ground yourself in anxious situations.

It’s more than learning to swim!

Swimming is known for strengthening both your core and your back simultaneously and encourages your spine to be straight and ‘streamline’.

Backstroke is the best stroke for improving posture as it lengthens your spine, open up your chest area and reduces a ‘hunched back’.

الشعور الجميل التي تشعر به عند جلوسك على الشاطئ لا يضاهي شعورك وأنت في أحضان البحر .

تعلمت من ميجن أن اواجه الخوف وأن أثق بالماء وأن أقدر التقدم في التعلم واستمتع بالسباحة دائما.

أنا ممتنة لأن شغف التعلم يساعدني شيئا فشيئا في التغلب على شعور الخوف من الماء، ويوما ما سأكون أكثر مهارة وسعادة في التواصل مع الماء.

“The beautiful feeling that you feel when sitting on the beach is not comparable to the feeling you feel when you are in the sea.

From Megan, I learned to face fear, trust the water, appreciate progress in learning and always enjoy the interaction with the water.

I am grateful that the passion for learning is helping me to overcome my fear of water and one day I will be fully skilled and ready to swim independently with joy, happiness and confidence.”

Use swimming to help your whole family sleep better.

Children and Adults:
As an aerobic exercise, studies show swimming is linked to better sleep quality and improved sleep duration. This is due to the physical excursion during the exercise, combined with the stress relieving nature of being inside water.

Babies:
Time in the pool will definitely take a lot of energy out of your babies. They’re in a new environment, using their bodies in completely new ways. You may notice that your little one is sleepier after a swim lesson and you may have to schedule in time for a nap or move up bedtimes on the days that they swim.

Thoughts on floaties? 🐤

Arm bands are a very common floating aid for children. They keep children floating in the water while giving them a feeling of freedom, allowing them to kick around and explore the swimming pool independently.

However, arm bands restrict arm movement and children can quickly get attached to the ‘bobbing around effortlessly’ feeling.

Therefore, armbands AREN’T very progressive when learning to swim in the class BUT they are a great option if you’d like a little extra safety precaution when playing in the water!
