Swimming Lessons Newcastle - Splash-Out on Your Children's Safety
Did you know that for about the cost of lunch you can start giving your child one of the greatest life skills – the ability to swim.
Warmer summer days have again seen the tragic loss of small children’s lives in the water. With most reputable swimming academies in the region hosting learn to swim schools for about $12.50 a lesson, it hardly seems worth it not have your children water ready now and for the future.
Recent statistics from Royal Life Saving show the number of people who drown in Australia each year has risen by about 21% in the past few years.
Swimming and splashing about is great fun but drowning is reported to be the second most common cause of death for children under the age of 14.
Teaching children the importance of water safety will build their confidence, increase their fitness, and gives them a skill for life.
To ensure that kids are water safe they should participate in simple swim programs that are designed to allow kids to progress through all the stages of swimming from safety and survival to stroke correction and onto swim speed and fitness training.
Most credible swim academies provide free assessment sessions to ensure that children are placed into appropriate classes for their ability and skills before they begin their lessons.
Most swim schools will also provide ongoing assessments to ensure that all children are progressing and becoming more confident in their abilities in the water.
