Reasons Why Summer Swim Lessons Are So Important

Summer is here which means lots of fun in and around the water! Whether your family enjoys days at the pool, waterparks, lakes, or beaches, don’t forget about water safety rules. While it can be tempting to take a break from structured activities, including swim lessons, keeping children enrolled in class all summer long is so important. At Diventures, we see first-hand how year-round swim education creates continuous progress for young swimmers.

Here are five reasons why summer swim lessons are beneficial.

Consistent Progress

Like any skill, swimming thrives on consistency. Taking a break can cause kids to forget what they’ve just learned, making it tougher to jump back in later. Weekly lessons help reinforce skills through regular practice while gradually introducing new techniques to build confidence and ability in the water.

Some of our locations even offer consecutive daily lessons in the summer through our Splash Sessions.

Prevent Bad Habits

Summer is a great time for kids to enjoy the water, but without proper guidance, they may start to develop bad habits like dog-paddling or avoiding putting their face in the water. These habits not only slow down progress but can also compromise safety. Swim lessons provide consistent, professional instruction to help kids stay on track, use proper technique, and build safe, confident swimming skills all summer long.

Water Safety Education

Safety is the cornerstone of our swim program at Diventures. Continuous swim lessons keep a constant emphasis on water safety. During our lessons, students learn vital skills like floating on their backs and how to exit the pool independently.

Builds Endurance and Strength

Swim lessons are not just about technique; they play a crucial role in building endurance and strength. Even children who know how to swim can find themselves in danger if they overestimate their abilities and lack the endurance or strength to get to safety. Swim lessons help children of all ages build the stamina needed to swim longer distances and the muscle strength required to handle challenging situations in the water.

Preparation for Aquatic Activities

At Diventures we believe the world is a waterpark! When your child becomes a strong and confident swimmer, it opens the door to new and exciting water-based activities like snorkeling or even scuba diving!
