Learning to Swim

By John Knight

Happy swimming is something many parents don't feel they may have around the water with their children. The reason being is that too many children have not taken some sort of swimming classes.

With that being said, parents did you know that the 2nd leading cause of death in children under the age of 14 is drowning? That is very upsetting being that I also am a father. Just that statistic alone should be very disturbing and for some reason yet I don't understand it.

Swimming is something that is done on a daily basis and yet a drowning kills a child every 15 minutes according to extensive household surveys in Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam and two areas in China. Come on now parents we need to give our children what I now say is the number one safety skill anybody needs, swimming lessons.

Yes I do feel a whole lot more strong on this subject of swimming lessons, but I'm sure that all parents can agree with me that the statistic of children dieing while swimming or being in the bath tub is very scary.

I loved to be able to go and have fun in the water without my parents thinking I'm going to drown. And didn't you too parents? That's all that kids really want to do and it is not a hard skill to learn it just takes a little time. Just like everything else.

A lot of children can get in the water and be happy but just can't enjoy it as much because they don't know how to swim to save themselves. There are so many different ways and tips to help you teach yourself or your child the correct way to swim.

Child swimming is great and they all need it, I am a professional swim instructor. I will be here to help you teach your child how to swim and stay safe. Parents thank you for reading and gaining this information about your child.
