Why You Need Winter Swim Lessons ASAP

The Holiday Season is Upon Us

Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas lights are lighting up neighborhoods, and every coffee shop displays their winter cookies and peppermint mochas, which only means one thing...the holiday season is upon us. Of course, with the holiday seasons comes New Year’s Resolutions, planning for the future, and getting ready for the spring and summer months. If you’re a parent, you may be thinking that this is way too early to think about swim lessons. However, if there’s one thing we’ve learned time and time again, it’s that it’s never too early to start teaching swim safety around the water. Additionally, contrary to popular belief, winter is one of the best times to book swim lessons, as there are fewer crowds, it helps kids sleep better, and builds a firm foundation for the summer months. So, what are you waiting for? Embrace the winter seasons with swim lessons!


Less Crowded

Ah, yes. We’ve all felt a similar feeling during the summer...water splashing everywhere, kids screaming, and dozens of kids running around with popsicles in hand. While the noise and the splashing are crucial parts of summer, they’re not exactly ideal for swim lessons. A quieter and calmer atmosphere during winter swim lessons allows both the child and the instructor to be able to optimize the time and lesson, leading to a better foundation for future lessons.


Helps Kids Sleep Better

One of the hardest parts of the holiday season seems to be getting kids to bed. Between the constant celebration, sweet treats, and time away from school, the days seem to become a continuous swarm of activity, giving kids more energy and wearing out many parents. However, one of the best ways to exhaust kids and get them to sleep is to get them into winter swim lessons. Not only does it help improve their mood, which can be a struggle for us all during the winter months, but it also keeps them moving for thirty minutes. It may not seem like they’re worn out when they get out, but give it a few hours and they’ll be fast asleep, or at least tired enough to take a nap. Winter swim lessons teach your children water safety early on, and also gives you time to yourself for holiday baking, wrapping presents, or just taking some well-deserved rest.


Preparation for the Spring and Summer

The months leading up to the summer tend to be a blur between schools getting out, preparing kids to be safe in the water, and planning family outings. That’s why winter swim lessons are one of the best ways to get ahead of the game and make sure your child is ready to take on the world when pools and water parks start opening up again. Winter swim lessons help build a firm base of water safety for kids as they prepare to swim on their own, establish the basics of swimming before pools open, and will hopefully take some stress off as you look forward to the summer.
