Swimming Classes for Children in [LOCATION]

The earth is 70% water, so for most places in the world, there is simply no escaping it, especially in the summer months when things get hot. Swimming, is not just a great activity for health and fitness, but also an essential life-skill.

When you think ‘swimming’, you don’t necessarily have to become an Olympic swimmer. People enjoy swimming at all levels, from experts to beginners, and it’s best to start getting swimming lessons as early as possible.

Whether you’ve been thinking of swimming classes for yourself or your kids, now is a great time to start by hiring professional swimming instructors or joining swimming classes in [LOCATION].

Benefits of Swimming for Fitness

Swimming has lots of health benefits for people of all ages and especially for kids if they start early and continue with it in later stages of life. Here are four reasons why swimming classes are important for kids:

1. Burns Calories and lose weight

To lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you consume, which is why physical activity is important. Swimming is very efficient at burning calories, and research shows that, depending on one’s weight and the intensity at which they swim, it is possible to burn between 490 and 700 calories in just an hour of swimming. This is an immense benefit for kids who may be struggling with obesity.

2. Builds endurance and cardiovascular fitness

Even if your kids are not obese or overweight, swimming still has a lot of important health benefits for them. Being a cardiovascular exercise, if it is performed with enough intensity, it will lead to improved endurance and a healthier cardiovascular system. All of this will contribute positively towards any other physical activity or sport your kids take up later.

3. All-round body strength

Swimming is the true definition of a total body sport. While swimming, you will need to use your arms, legs, butt, back, and even neck muscles to maintain your balance and propel your body through the water. Although you won’t build much muscle mass from swimming, you will get stronger and develop all the important muscle groups of your body.

This is an important benefit since your muscles are used in pretty much everything you will do in the course of your daily routine.

4. Low impact on joints

A major challenge with other exercises and sports that may yield some of the same benefits as swimming is the fact that these exercises often stress joints. Swimming is often recommended for overweight or obese people for the simple reason that water tends to absorb impacts and acts as a cushion, reducing stress on joints.

5. Outlet for social bonding and confidence building

Going for swimming classes and meeting other kids will create an environment for your kids to make new friends and develop important social skills. Also, keeping them engaged with an activity that requires them to learn a skill and improve it over time develops important life skills and builds confidence.

6. A skill that can save lives

Swimming is an important life skill that every child needs to have in case the need ever arises. You will be surprised at how few people actually know how to swim and end up having to opt out of water-based activities.

You might have some questions about what makes a swimming class good, and here are a few factors:

1. Qualified Instructors

Instructors should not just be experienced swimmers. They should have certifications that qualify them to teach people how to swim. Knowing how to swim does not quality one to teach. Swimming is an activity that incorporates several different techniques and methods which need to be learnt.

2. Child friendly atmosphere

Children tend to learn best when they are having fun, so a good swimming class for kids focus on making the learning experience fun and engaging.

3. Safety measures

As with any activity, safety is an important consideration with swimming too. A good swimming instructor will always put safety first, and the same goes for classes.
