Swimming is the only sport that, when learned, can help save a life. The dangers posed by water do not abate just because the months are cooler. Therefore, the decision to postpone a child’s swimming lessons during winter should be considered carefully.
Swimming is a confidence based activity for children and a break in lessons means they forget, it impacts their confidence and greatly hinders their level of ability.

Jump! Swim Schools manager Shelly Snow said that children who stop swimming lessons over winter often can no longer swim to their previous ability once they return.
Months of summer lessons end up ‘going to waste’ as children lose their feel for the water both physically and psychologically.
Children will progress further if they continue to practice and build upon the skills that they have already learnt during the warmer months.
JUMP! Jimboomba is the way learn to swim should be for children — small intimate classes free of distractions, expert qualified swimming teachers, and a heated purpose-built indoor pool.
Its boutique learn to swim facility caters for babies aged from three months up to pre-squad children.
