Guide to Swimming Lessons in Melbourne
There are many reasons why swimming lessons are important, for both children and adults. In Australia, where water activities are a core component of summer, it is important that each people has the ability to navigate the water safely. Swimming lessons ensure you are comfortable and confident to attend days at the beach, on a boat, around a pool or in a creek.
There are also benefits such as fitness, health, improved coordination, mental health and socialisation.
Swimming lessons save lives. All water activities carry an inherent risk of drowning, but children are particularly at risk. The majority of drowning deaths of children at swimming pools with almost every death occurring while unsupervised. Swimming lessons are the best way to significantly reduce the risk of drowning. Swimming lessons may also give you the skills needed to assist others in the water when needed.
Swimming is a great way to become physically fit and healthy. Swimming is a great workout because the water acts as resistance for your body to work against. It keeps your heart rate up, while also being low impact.
There are many possible activities for kids to be involved in and life is busy for both kids and parents. However, swimming lessons are an investment in their future. Give your kids the skills they need to be safe and enjoy a lifelong love of water.
