Summer is here, which is a good reminder to think about swim safety! Teaching your child how to swim helps build confidence in the water and can significantly reduce the risk of drowning. But how do you know when to start & what to look for in a swim program? Head to our link in bio for swim lesson FAQs!
💧 According to the AAP recommendations, many children can start swim lessons as early as age 1, depending on their developmental readiness and comfort level in the water.
💧 By age 4, most children are ready for swim lessons if they haven't started yet. If you have questions about whether your child is ready for swim lessons, talk with your pediatrician.
⚠️❗️ Remember, swim lessons don’t replace supervision - even with lessons, CLOSE supervision is always essential!
