It's never too soon to learn to swim - but it can definitely be too late. Drowning is a leading cause of death in youth. The inability to swim is especially dangerous in warmer, coastal states where drowning is the most preventable cause of death in children under the age of 6. Starting children in swim lessons at a young age can help protect against drowning and water related injuries but there are additional benefits not widely known.
As children develop new experiences create neural pathways throughout the central nervous system. Particularly in children aged 6 months to 2 years, swimming lessons can aid the development of synapses, which in turn are connected to increased cognitive reasoning skills. Pre-school children involved in activities like swimming are shown in recent studies to trend upward on the learning curve.
