“Mom, I’m starving!" How often have you heard that before or after swimming? Kids’ bodies are like car engines, no fuel and they won’t keep going. But it’s not just about having something in the tank, it’s about having the right type of fuel! Without consuming food they won’t be able to concentrate or put in the energy required to get through the lesson. We’ve put together some tips on when to feed your child and what they should eat before and after swimming.
Our Snowman Splash event is a highly anticipated, holiday-themed pool party at Five Star Swim School. It was the ideal way to add a festive splash of excitement to your family’s December plans. So let’s take a look at how we kicked off the holiday season with some merry and active fun at the pool!
Some children see the pool as a dangerous place, despite watching their peers enjoy the water. Sometimes it may be a previous unpleasant experience, or there is the fear of the unknown and the new. It can be challenging to help if your child feels anxious or fearful around water. As funny as that sounds, one of the best ways to help your child overcome a fear of water is to encourage them to learn swimming. Here are some strategies to make the learning process less intimidating.
Many people may not know this, but children who take swimming lessons often perform better in other sports as well. When you combine regular swimming lessons with other activities, your child can excel and stay ahead of the competition. Swimming is unique and offers numerous health and fitness benefits, including improved coordination skills.
Each year as the temperature drops, parents often wonder if their children should continue swim lessons during the colder months. Contrary to popular belief, the notion that children should avoid swimming in cold weather to prevent sickness is a common misconception. In fact, children who swim throughout the year are less likely to get sick! So why is it so important to continue swimming when the weather is colder outside?
Drowning is the number one cause of death for children ages 1–4 in the USA. It can occur quickly (in as little as 20 seconds), it’s silent and it can happen even in very shallow water. Toddlers and children under five are especially at risk because they are small, inquisitive about water, and have limited understanding of the dangers.
Swimming is a fun and healthy activity for kids and adults, and it's never too late to start learning how to swim. At Five Star Swim School, we offer special Mommy and Me Swim Lessons for infants and toddlers aged 6 months to 2.5 years, which provides a lovely bonding experience for a parent and a child while teaching valuable water skills.
As the winter chill sets in, parents often wonder how to keep their kids active, healthy, and robust in the colder months. While outdoor activities may lose appeal in the chilly weather, the solution to keeping kids fit and resilient could be as simple as indoor swimming. At Five Star Swim School, we believe in the incredible benefits of winter swimming. Not only does it provide a welcome escape from the cold, but it also plays a key role in maintaining your child's immune system.
Swimming is one activity children can't get enough of in the summer. Swimming is refreshing and enjoyable, but also, it's an excellent form of exercise that can benefit children in many ways.
