Learning to Swim

By John Knight

Swimming freely and having fun around the pool area is something that a lot of parents can not say. Why is that? Too many children aren't learning to swim at an early age.

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.

There is a child's pool party birthday going on almost every other day, and yet we have a child killed by drowning every 15 minutes according to the surveys done in two areas of China, Thailand, Vietnam and Bangladesh. Now we need to give our children a little more on this.

Being that I am a swim instructor yes I do feel a little stronger than most people about this subject, but any parent with eyes can read that it is a very serious skill that needs to be taught to our children.

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.
