Why Swim Year-Round?
Water is a unique medium that offers opportunity for everyone: Newborns, toddlers, children, teens, adults and the elderly. Swimming is the only sport one can do from first breath to last. It is a skill that saves lives; infant, child and adult. When children are learning, they should stay “in the swim” until swimming and safety skills are mastered.
Self Esteem: Swimming is a skill that all Californians need. People swim in pools, at the beach and at water parks. Children gain confidence and self-esteem by knowing how to swim well with friends. Children also need to know their limits and what they can do to help when another swimmer is in trouble.
Exploratory: The newborn can locomote and explore in water before he is able to crawl or walk. Three-dimensional movement is attained, free gravity or untrained muscle groups. Even older children and adults are fascinated with the ability to move in all directions, like an astronaut in space.
Curiosity and Safety: Children are drawn to water. Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children under five in the state of California. Toddlers who learn how to swim are more respectful of the dangers of water, learn water safety skills and are less likely to drown. Even if you don’t have a pool in your backyard, someone in your neighborhood does.
Physical Fitness: Water can be from four to 44 times more resistant than air, depending on how hard you work. Resistance is a key factor in improving strength and cardiovascular fitness. Compared to exercise on land, the same level of fitness can be attained in up to half the time! Even athletes train in water because it produces resistance for every muscle group, making the athlete stronger and more flexible for other sports. Water’s a safer environment to exercise in because of virtually no impact, as gravity is reduced to 10 percent of land.
Fun: Everyone loves water!
