9 Month Old Twins Swim Length of Pool!

Click the link below to learn about 9 month old twins who can swim 25 meters unassisted!


The most important take-away from this article: don't panic!  Their instructor stated that the twins "don't panic when they are upturned in the water, when they are not quite coming round quick enough." 

No matter how old you are, in order to learn how to swim you must stay relaxed in the water. For a beginner, feeling relaxed takes time, so don't feel discouraged if it takes several lessons before you achieve that feeling.

Swimming Linked to Intellectual Development

Not only will swim lessons equip your child with a life-saving skill but may also stimulate your child's intellectual development.  A new study conducted by Griffith University in Australia found that children younger than 5 years old who participate in swimming achieve certain developmental milestones before children who do not participate in swimming.
