Parent & Me Lessons
Parent & Me swim lessons offer more than just fun—they provide vital early development benefits backed by research. A 2010 study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) prompted the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to update its drowning prevention guidelines, highlighting an 88% reduction in drowning risk for children aged 1-4 who took formal swimming lessons. Additionally, research from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology shows that infants who participate in swimming lessons develop better balance and motor skills by age 5.
