The leading cause of unintentional death in one- to three-year-old kids is drowning which can occur in just inches of water. There are varying opinions about the correct age to start swimming lessons for young kids. But most experts agree that time is somewhere between the ages of one and four. When a child is mobile, adventuresome, not afraid of the water, plays games, and can follow directions, he or she is ready to learn to be water safe. Always talk to your pediatrician before starting swimming lessons to ensure your child is developmentally ready.
