Swimming is fun for people of all ages and kids love enjoying the water.
With drowning being one of the most common causes of accidental death in children, the main reason your child should learn to swim is that it can save your child's life.
Swimming also provides huge health benefits. Swimming keeps your child’s heart and lungs healthy, enhancing strength and flexibility together with stamina. It also improves balance and posture.
The other great thing about swimming is that children of any age or ability can take part. Take a look at The SEN Resources' review.
Being able to swim opens your child up to accomplishing challenges now and later on in life which involve all kinds of water sports like kayaking, canoeing, scuba diving, etc.
This allows your child to build their self confidence and believe in their abilities. It's also a great place to make friends too.
Once you learn how to swim it is rarely forgotten and you can start at any time of your life, but earlier the better.
Swim aids for children
Once your child is water confident it is time to learn to swim and swim aids can be really helpful and kids love the fun learning experience. The AquaPlane float swim aid is designed to offer maximum support to the child in the water and is strapped to their back. As the child's arms are unrestricted AquaPlane helps children develop their technique and grow in strength and confidence.

How Does AquaPlane Support Swimmers?
Thanks to its unique shape, AquaPlane supports swimmers whatever their position in the water. The tapered aeroplane shape design offers support when the child is vertical in the water; they simply adjust their weight, lean back and the AquaPlane supports them. The child can then swim confidently on their front or back, safe in the knowledge that should they change their body position the AquaPlane will support them vertically.
