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.
