Benefits of Swimming
At SwimWay, we believe learning to swim is a core life skill. The benefits of swimming lessons cannot be underestimated...
There are many benefits to swimming lessons for you or your children. Regular swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. It can serve as a cross-training element to your regular workouts.
Gradually increasing your heart rate and stimulating muscle activity is easily accomplished in the water. Before or after a land workout, swimming a few laps can help you warm up/cool down, move blood through your muscles to help them recover, and help you relax as you glide through the water.
Learning to swim well from an early age is a healthy activity that provides life skills and benefits for your child. This includes increased safety & confidence in and around water, sporting enjoyment, competition and discipline, and a lifelong skill that can be enjoyed at all stages of life.

Swimming enhances balance, strength, coordination, endurance, and promotes health & fitness. Sport, and swimming in particular, provides an opportunity for children to succeed when they may not do as well in the classroom for example. Swimming also has many benefits for children with disabilities.
