The L.A. Times reports that babies who swim appear to show greater benefits later in their physical development.
Teaching babies to swim might assuage their fear of water and provide good exercise, but it could have other benefits as well.
Researchers from Norway and Britain found that children who had taken baby swimming classes did better on tests involving gripping and reaching as well as balance, compared to children who had no experience swimming as babies.
As always, I am an Ambassador of the USA Swimming Foundation. Our mission: teach every child in America to swim. Support a kid who can't afford a swimming lesson today.
