How Swim Lessons Benefit Adults & Children
How Swim Lessons Benefit Adults & Children
It’s not uncommon to automatically think that swimming lessons are only for children – but this is a common misconception! Learning to swim and equipping oneself with the necessary skills to navigate water safely is timeless, and benefits adults and children just alike. At Katie’s Kickers, we believe there’s no better skill to master than that of safe swimming, especially here in the Hampton Roads! Below are 3 reasons why adults should take swim lessons, too!
1. Our children look up to us
Children learn by imitation, and often times, they place importance on what we deem important, because they look up to us! As parents, we can’t bare the weight of that responsibility lightly. Instead, we should always lead by example. By investing in swimming lessons for ourselves, we’re telling and showing our children that it’s an important task, worthy of time and dedication, no matter your age.
2. It's never too late to start
As an adult, it’s easy to get swept up in our busy schedules and to-do lists that feel a mile long. It’s easy to neglect something like swimming lessons, and it’s not hard to find excuses as to why we don’t have the time or means to take them on.
But in reality, it’s never too late to start, because safe swimming is a timeless skill that will serve you for your entire life! Don’t put it on the backburner any longer. Invest in yourself, this essential knowledge, and we suspect you’ll also find that it’s a fun and enjoyable activity for you too.
3. Prepare for emergency situations
In adulthood, we’ve learned the true importance of preventative measures. But despite our best efforts and preparations, emergency situations exist and can come at us in an instant. Learning how to safely swim not only protects ourselves as adults when we participate in water activities, but it also adds a layer of protection to those around us – including our children.
One benefit that an adult tends to have over children is the ability to stay calm in a stressful situation and regulate our emotions so that we can act quickly. No situation does this skill prove more important than when it comes to an unsafe water scenario. By investing in swim lessons with Katie’s Kickers, you’re creating an added layer of support and protection for you and your loved ones.
