Nowadays, children face so many problems both at school and at home. Swimming can serve as a healthy outlet to help keep them physically and mentally fit. Not only is it one of the few non-contact activities that children can safely participate in, but swimming is scientifically proven to help reduce stress and anxiety.

In fact, research shows that swimming for up to 30 minutes can lower stress levels, improve sleep patterns, and reduce anxiety and depression. This is because swimming releases endorphins, signals of well-being in our body that make us feel happier and better. The soothing feeling of swimming in the water also allows you to relax your muscles, release tension and relax your body and mind. Another factor of relaxation is breathing control, which we focus on during each lesson at Swim Academy.

It is normal for babies to cry when they first start learning to swim. For some children, the pool is a big and scary place, and often learning to swim is their first experience in the water without mum and dad by their side, which can cause them separation anxiety. Although not always only children start to worry about starting to learn to swim. As parents, we know how nervous it can be to enroll your toddler in swimming lessons. You may have had your own terrifying experiences when you were younger, or you may have your own separation anxiety that comes from putting your baby in someone else’s care.

Please be assured that each of our instructors is well trained and uses honesty, compassion and trust to ensure that each child and parent are comfortable during their classes. They are sensitive to their swimmers’ feelings and use positive reinforcements to create a friendly environment in the classroom and help students feel more comfortable in the water. As children get used to the classroom, their instructors cease to be strangers and become the familiar, friendly faces they wait for each week.

Physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. More and more people realize that practicing sports is good for their health and figure. Swimming stands out from other disciplines – it comprehensively develops a healthy, strong and athletic figure. Despite the many advantages and satisfaction of swimming training, it is often difficult to motivate yourself to go to the pool.

First of all, you need to define your reasons and goals for swimming. It’s a good idea to write them down so you can read them when in doubt. Specific goals are a good motivator, for example to start in a competition or improve your result over a period of time. However, let’s not forget that training should also be a pleasure – treat it as a time for yourself, during which we can think through our own matters with a clear mind.

Regular participation in the pool deprives us of excuses, sets the rhythm of the week, and the purchased pass for classes motivates us to systematically leave the house and go to training in the water. For some, competition is a good motivation. In addition to planning the competition, training in a group will be a great incentive for such people, which will give them the opportunity to prove themselves. An interesting solution is to use a training application in which we have access to our results, and we can also compete with other users. Another idea is to find a person with whom we will arrange joint training. Playing with friends is also a great motivation to go to the swimming pool.

It is very important to get your children used to an active lifestyle from an early age. A young person who is physically active develops better, gets sick less, is more confident and knows how to deal with failures. In addition, he gains many opportunities to make social contacts, build interpersonal relationships and share emotions related to achieving success or failure.

For a child, at least an hour’s “dose” of exercise during the day is recommended. This dose of activity allows you to improve the movement, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, vegetative and endocrine systems, improves the condition and increases muscle endurance. Physical activity, apart from the benefits in the physical aspect, also improves the mood and regulates emotions.

Of course, not all children like sports, but if he encourages them properly and suggests interesting ways of active rest, the attitude can be changed. A proposal of sports activities that will appeal to almost every child are currently very popular activities on trampolines, where they are always accompanied by fun and a lot of laughter, as well as cycling or ordinary walks that most children like.

This may surprise some, but children can be taken to the swimming pool from an early age! Already a three-year-old toddler can get used to water enough to feel good and safe in it. But what to do with such young children in the pool? Play! No one else knows better than us parents that it is a game that motivates the youngest to act and encourages them to learn something new. So it is no different when it comes to learning to swim. Our instructors are well aware of this and willingly use this knowledge in practice.

The instructors use play as an integral part of their swimming lessons. The fun can be endless. There are lots of colorful toys and play equipment in the water. Rubber animals, ships, water puzzles, inflatable or foam balls, sticks or wheels make the activities in the water fun, interesting and full of attractions. With inflatable sleeves, wings, mattresses, vests and swimming rings, children are getting closer to independent swimming step by step.
