Swim class was so much fun for me! :D I saw my children happy and improving everyday.
My li'l girl, the one who got my side of the family's love for water, improved so much in terms of social
development. She allowed the coach to teach and guide her, and the other moms and kids to say hi to her.
My li'l man, on the other hand, was able to develop confidence in the water. This allowed him to be calm, relaxed and enjoy being in the water more.
Overall, as mom, I am very happy that my children have already done so much, and summer has just begun. There's more to come and I'm very excited for them, and excited for me to see them grow in experience and love.
Good read on swimming for children.
Researchers have documented that the
stimulating effect of child-paced infant/toddler swimming lessons has the
potential to increase intelligence, concentration, alertness, and perceptual
abilities. Improvement in social, emotional and physical development has also
been published. Of course, the manifestation of such inspired cognitive,
personal and motor development takes time, patience and repetition. I have
personally observed this phenomena and have confirmed this with other veteran
instructors, especially in children who started lessons prior to 12 months old,
but it’s never too late to receive these unique and subtle benefits of
infant-toddler swimming. These babies eventually become extremely peaceful and
relaxed in the water. http://www.babyswimming.com/benefits.htm
