ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF SWIM LESSONS

Kids who are enrolled in formal swim lessons have been found to be 6 to 15 months ahead of the average population in cognitive skills, problem solving in mathematics, counting, language, and following instructions. Even the researchers of this four-year study at Griffith University in Australia were amazed by the results.

Here is the breakdown of what they discovered during their research. Kids enrolled in formal swim lessons were on average:

2 months ahead in brief reading
6 months ahead in mathematics reasoning
11 months ahead in oral expression
17 months ahead in story recall
20 months ahead in understanding directions
