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. 

Learn to Swim by booking your swimming camp spots early this summer so that your kids can enjoy the water all summer long!

Here are 4 reasons to start swimming lessons before summer vacation

1. Lessons boost water safety and confidence for kids 

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.

2. Get your children off screens

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.  

3. Low impact exercise can improve your child’s health 

Get your children to engage every muscle from head to toe! Swimming’s low-impact improves lung capacity, boosts heart health, and increases strength.  

4. Prepare your kid for a summer vacation

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.
