The purpose of this post is to provide you with
a broad idea of the potential that exists at
various ages of baby swimmers. The following list is intended to reflect the
skills and abilities of children with long term swimming experience who swim
with ease and confidence. Many factors weigh into a child's progress,
such as comfort, experience, confidence, and frequency of practice, motivation,
innate abilities and the attitude of the parents. Beginners entering a program
would need to start with water adjustment and gradually acquire new skills in a
sequential learning progression, regardless of age. For example, a 3 year old
new to swimming would start with the first level of skills.
