Hi, I’m Curtis Knight & I would like to help you make some swimming decisions.
In these harsh times in the world, most people are holding onto all the money they can. Saying to themselves, “my child learning how to swim is a luxury right now”.
If something doesn’t seem like it’s needed then don‘t spend the money.
This might be true when buying take out food every night, but can you put a price on your child’s safety?
If swimming lessons improve your child’s safety, then why not spend the money right? Take a look at a recent study on learning how to swim & the great effect that it has on children.
STUDIES SHOW
A study published in the Los Angeles Times concludes that swimming lessons for children ages 1 to 4 does lower the risk of drowning.
I repeat, DOES lower the risk of drowning.
The studies, made by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, looked at the similarities between drowning and swim lessons in children ages 1 to 19 in six states.
Interviews were done with the families of over 80 children who drowned between 2003 and 2005. With the families of 213 children were the same age, gender and lived in the same area as those who drowned
The study, published in the APAM (Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine), says that among the 61 children ages 1 through 4 who drowned, 3% had NEVER really been introduced to some sort of lesson. On the other hand, 26% of the children in the control group had been in swim lessons. Also in parent interviews, Dr’s said that children who drowned were less skilled swimmers. Only 5% of the children were able to float on their back for at least 10 seconds compared to 18% of the children in the control group with lessons. From their research, they are positive that swimming lessons for this age group improves safety and is NOT an increase in danger. All Positive. Dr. Ruth A. Brenner, the lead author of the study, made this comment in a news brief.
