Pedalheads is the place to learn how to swim this summer! They have been the experts since 1986 and provide exceptional swim lessons and camps using proven teaching techniques, in-water instruction, customized swim methods and specialized equipment.
The season is changing and it is time to start looking for activities that suit the longer and warmer days. With many to choose from, one activity stands out for being fun, enjoyable, and an essential lifesaving skill: swimming.
If you are looking for your children to learn the essentials, Pedalheads can help. They offers bike, swim, and trail riding programs to families across Canada, with summer camps running from June-August in BC. Their curriculum-based swim programs focus on safety, skill development, and maximized learning through increased practice time. As always more swimming = more progress.
Tragically, drowning is the leading cause of death in kids aged 1 to 4 in the US, so learning to swim is a life-saving skill. Formal swimming lessons have been found to reduce the risk of drowning among children by 88%, which is why it’s such an important investment in children’s safety beyond the joy it brings.
Swimming with confidence, opens the doors to other water activities and sports as well – from boating to surfing to triathlons. Swim lessons also greatly reduce the risk and nerves around water that are felt by adults and children who can’t swim.
Need a simple way to get your child off screens without hours of negotiation? Luckily, screens can’t survive a swim. Once your child is away from the screen, they will enjoy the chance to socialize, make new friends, and embrace the art of play.
Pedalheads puts kids’ enjoyment first. Their instructors incorporate games and level-specific toys into the programs to keep children engaged for the entire lesson.
Get your children to engage every muscle from head to toe! Swimming’s low-impact improves lung capacity, boosts heart health, and increases strength.
If your family summer plans include visits to a beach, lake, or other body of water, swimming lessons are a MUST. Equipping your children with strong swimming skills will give them the freedom to enjoy the water independently or by your side. You can feel confident about them going in the water while you relax on a warm towel.
