Many parents may be surprised to learn that swimming in an indoor pool in winter can actually improve their child’s immune system - keeping them fit and healthy and reducing their risk of catching a cold.

Swimming offers a dynamic full-body exercise that allows kids to stay fit and healthy all year round.

But that's not all!

In addition to becoming more resilient to illness, swimming can help your child relax, unwind and have fun during the colder months!

Stress Reduction
During winter, children often stay indoors and it can be difficult to remain active. Swimming is ideal for children of all ages as in addition to building endurance and stamina, it releases endorphins - feel-good hormones that can help reduce stress and improve mood.

Social Interaction
In the colder months, there are fewer team sports and swimming classes are a great way to provide indoor social interaction opportunities. Through socialising, your child will improve their mental and emotional well-being - all while improving their coordination, motor skills, balance and concentration.

Improved Respiratory Health
Swimming can improve lung function and strengthen respiratory muscles. This is particularly important during the winter when respiratory illnesses are more prevalent.

Water Saftey
Accidents can happen in the water at any time of the year. By swimming in winter, your child will continue to develop their technique and confidence - so they will always be more prepared in challenging situations.

If you would like to keep your child active, healthy, and immune-strong this winter - encourage them to be in the pool as much as possible. Your child's immune system and overall well-being will thank you for it!
