It is midway through the Swimming Lesson season and you have to ask the question: can your child swim yet & are they safe swimming in the pool yet? Most parents believe in order to keep their children safe they need to have them in swimming lessons. This is a vast understatement. It is not that cut and dry.

Hey, Swim Discovery family. Welcome to the podcast that equips parents around the world to help their children discover how to swim for themselves. This week we are answering  the question at what age and how long does it take for kids to learn to swim? This week Jim and Jeff are going to break down a study from Australia’s journal of science and medicine in sport to answer that question directly. Let me tell you this episode is so jam packed with goodness. We had to make it a two part series. Now without further delay, let’s jump in here is Jeff and Jim Wood.

Well, what is going on everyone? Welcome on into another episode of the Swim Discovery podcast brought to you by SwimAble.com.

We are your hosts, Jim Wood and Jeff Wood. And first off, Jim, could you believe that it’s already July? I mean, this is it’s crazy. How fast the year, especially the swim season seems to be going so far?

No, I can’t believe it. It’s like time is flying, right? That’s crazy.

I know it is crazy. We have got a really epic episode for everyone tuning in.

We have two really important questions at this point in the year that we like to ask question, number one, can your child swim yet? It is July and. That means we are about halfway through the swim season and about halfway through the amount, the traditional length of time that parents are involved in organized swimming lessons.

And so if you are listening to this podcast and your child is involved in swimming lessons, you got to ask the question: can your child swim yet because of those swimming lessons? And that really correlates to the second question, which probably I should have asked first, but nonetheless, is, is your child safe yet when they are swimming in your pool or your lake or going to any body of water, are they safe yet?

And that really correlates to that first question is can they swim yet? And so we want to unpack those two questions, give you an idea of why we’re asking those questions and then point you towards, well, what can we do about it. If the answer to either or both of those questions is no, my child, I don’t think my child’s safe yet or no, my child can’t swim yet . We got to unpack that and drive you towards how we provide a solution for you. If the answer to either of those questions are no,

I love that this is it’s a topic really near and dear to my heart because you know, when we started The Swim Re
