Why Winter Is the Best Time to Learn to Swim

When parents think of swimming lessons, summertime usually comes to mind. Warm days, pool parties, and family beach trips all make water skills a priority. But here’s the secret: winter might actually be the best season to get your child started. At Kinder Swimmer, our pools are kept at a cozy 92 degrees year-round, so children can enjoy learning in a warm, comfortable environment no matter what’s happening outside.

Winter lessons give kids a head start before the busy summer season arrives. By the time the sunshine returns, your child will already feel confident in the water and ready to dive into family vacations, pool playdates, and beach outings. Instead of waiting until May or June to start, winter swimmers stay ahead of the curve.

Another advantage? Smaller class sizes. During the colder months, swim schools naturally see fewer enrollments, which means your child may benefit from more individualized attention from their instructor. Fewer distractions and more one-on-one guidance can help children make faster progress with their skills.

Lastly, winter lessons keep kids active during a season when it’s easy to stay indoors. Swimming is both a fun activity and a full-body workout that builds strength, coordination, and endurance. So, while the weather outside is chilly, your child is staying warm, confident, and active inside our pool.
