Why swimming is so good for children

Swimming is a wonderful physical exercise at any age. For children it offers a wealth of benefits beyond physical fitness, including mental, social and safety benefits that other exercise simply cannot offer.

As children progress, we also teach them how to tumble turn in both freestyle and backstroke, supported by permanent backstroke flags set at the correct distance above the pool.
