The National Institutes of Health recently released a study that
supports the positive impact learn to swim lessons can have on young
children and drowning prevention. It states, “Providing very young
children with swimming lessons appears to have a protective effect
against drowning and does not increase childrens’ risk of drowning.”
Contrary to long held beliefs, introducing your infant to swimming
lessons at even 6 months, does not encourage them to be overly bold and
unsafe around water. The study concludes:Participating in
formal swimming lessons was associated with an 88% reduction in the
risk of drowning in children between the ages of 1 to 4. (Arch
Pediatric Med. 2009; 163(3):203-210)

At Little Otter Swim School, we believe in making swimming fun, so we play games,
sing songs and laugh.
Along the way, your children become confident and learn to love the water, no matter their age.
Our youngest Little Otters start at 6 months and stay with their parents in the water up to the age of three. The babies love the warm pools and colorful surroundings. For
the older children, beginning at age three, warm water, terrific
instructors, stimulating equipment and magical lessons form an
unbeatable combination.
