Make a splash with swimming lessons at The Shrewsbury Club

With the summer holidays fast approaching, many families will be looking forward to a well-deserved break. Whether you choose to book a trip abroad or enjoy the coastlines of the UK, you will probably spend some time in the pool or sea.

You will no doubt make a list of the necessities to pack, like swimming costumes and lots of sun block, but have you wondered whether your child can actually swim proficiently?

Our swimming instructors explain why it’s so important that children learn how to swim well:

Even if your child has some experience in the water and will probably be fine – accidents can unfortunately happen. The Child Accident Prevention Trust lists drowning as one of the main causes of accidents and injuries and in the space of six years; over 30 children from the UK have drowned while on holiday abroad.

These are concerning statistics but it’s important to educate children and parents on the best ways to take precautions so that they can enjoy holidays and the summer months safely.

Learn a life skill

Being able to swim is a vital skill for little ones to learn and it also enables them to enjoy exercise in a fun way while reaping the health benefits [1]:

• Uses all your muscles so it’s a full-body workout
• Reduces anxiety and stress
• Improves cardiovascular fitness
• Helps to improve the quality of your sleep
• Lowers the risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease
