The half term break has started at Flippers Swim School ๐ We hope all of our swimmers have a lovely week off and look forward to seeing you the week commencing 21st February ๐๐ป
An interesting statistic for those of you who ask โwhen should we stop lessonsโ
Swim England and their research indicates that 96% of children stop swimming lessons before becoming competent, failing to meet essential water safety standards, such as treading water and swimming in clothes. This means only 4% achieve the necessary skills, leaving millions vulnerable in water.
Quite a scary thought! Swimming is a life skill as well as a great form of exercise for all ages.
