What Kids Need to Know About Swimming Lessons

Having a goal to reach Olympic Games swimming pool is great, but it all starts will first steps during first swim training sessions a child will ever go. Water is unnatural medium for most humans (except very young babies, they feel good in water). That's why learning how to swim at a young age is important. Doesn't matter what are your goals in swimming, it's almost never to early to start learning how to swim.

Most professional swimmers start swimming at roughly 5-7 years old. In rare cases their first swimming lesson can be as late as 10-12 years, but it's very unlikely that they started swimming earlier than that.

Why Read a Kids Swim Blog?

Because water safety, courage and struggling will be the biggest part of your child first years of swimming lessons, you as a parent are most suited to help them in their swimming journey if you know how this process usually looks.

Most professional athletes I know end up having very "parent-child-like" connection to their swim coach. Especially if their swim coach teach them how to swim and lead them all through their biggest swimming competitions when they are in their teens or even early thirties.

Think about it, to compete at highest swimming competitions swimmers usually have spent 10+ years in the swimming pool every day, usually they do more than one swim practice per day.

Will your kid be the next Michael Phelps?

Math tells us - most likely no. But it's only your child spirit and inner fire will determine how far he or she will go in their swimming career! Even if your kid doesn't win 8 gold medals in Olympics, children get a big gift from being a swimming professional, doesn't matter in what level they compete and when they quit.

Swim team and swimmer relationship.

Most professional swimmers I know, doesn't matter if you ask about how it was when they were 12 or 32 - most swimmers will tell you... They have many swimmer friends. In different cities. Different countries. Even continents.

Swimmers form very firm bonds with their peers both during practice and competition. Your brothers and sisters in your local pool become your best friends. You make strong lifetime friendships with those with whom you compete all the time in local, regional or global competitions.

How does children swimming career start?

I myself swam for 13+ years and took my first swimming lesson at 5. During that time I visited 20+ countries in 2 continents. I have many friends that I still keep in touch after so many years from all over the globe. My local swimming friends that is like family to me, we still see each other even though I moved out of my home country and we are separated by 5+ other countries.

Swim school changed my life, because swimming sport is not a competition against others, it's a competition against yourself. You and only you stand in your way to victory. You compete against yourself.
