Learning to Swim

By John Knight

Happy swimming is something many parents don't feel they may have around the water with their children. The reason being is that too many children have not taken some sort of swimming classes.

In children under the age of 14, drowning is the 2nd leading cause of death. Wow! Now that is something to sit and think about. Is my child swimming or has my child taken some sort of swimming safety class?

There is a child's pool party birthday going on almost every other day, and yet we have a child killed by drowning every 15 minutes according to the surveys done in two areas of China, Thailand, Vietnam and Bangladesh. Now we need to give our children a little more on this.

Feeling extremely strong on this subject of swimming classes is probable for me because I am a swim instructor. The thing is that I know that the parents of the students that I have taught feel a lot stronger about it now because they see how much their child had missed out on.

So parents ask yourself, when you were growing up didn't you love to be able to go and play in the water freely? I know I did. Every child wants to, loves to and has to go and have fun in the sun. That's just the way the kids are.

A lot of children can get in the water and be happy but just can't enjoy it as much because they don't know how to swim to save themselves. There are so many different ways and tips to help you teach yourself or your child the correct way to swim.

With that being said, I am the founder of 123 Swimming Lessons, and I will and I am going to be teaching you and your child the correct way to be safe in the water. Parents don't let your child be one of the statistics.
