Infant swim lessons will make your child smarter! Research has shown that infants who take swim lessons excel compared to their peers in many milestones. Younger swimmers are more confident, more articulate, more social and perhaps even a little smarter than their non-swimming peers. The table below shows research from the Griffith University Study, August, 2013.
