Activity Idea: Swim Lesson

There are many reasons why swim lessons are a great idea. First, safety, safety, safety! Even if you attend a swim lesson class that is more fun and games than learning to swim, it helps your child become comfortable in the water and more open to learning proper swimming techniques. Second, swim lessons are a fun activity that you or your nanny can enjoy along with your child. Third, it is often hard to find a fun activity to do with a baby or toddler, but swim lessons are available to almost any age. For babies, swim lessons are a fun way to interact with you or your nanny and other babies in the class, even if they cannot, yet, crawl or walk.

It is very easy to find swim classes through a Google search. It is also a good idea to check your your local YMCA or Boys and Girls Club to see if they offer classes. At the Boys and Girls club in San Diego, there is a drop-in play group for babies and toddlers starting at 3 months. Check your local Boys and Girls club to see if they offer a similar class or you can even suggest that they start one. 

Swim lessons are a fun and easy way to get active with your baby or young child. Swim lessons are also a great activity to plan for your nanny to do with your child.

Most importantly, swim lessons do not have to be a "summer only" activity. Check out your local indoor pool to see if they offer year round classes!
