When a toddler is exposed to the water at a younger age they learn to swim at a faster rate. You will know if your child is ready for lessons if they are expressing interest in the water and take basic instructions well.
Key Takeaways:
- The recommended age to start swimming lessons according to the American Academy of Pediatrics is just 1 year old.
- Toddlers who are exposed to the water at a younger age learn how to swim and be safe in the water at a quicker rate.
- If your child is showing interest in the water and/or they take basic instructions well, they are ready to start swimming lessons.
"Beginner swim lessons can start as early as 6 months and require a parent present in the water with their child."
