The new guidelines, however, do not extend to all children under 4. The AAP still does not recommend swimming lessons before age 1, and says children with motor or cognitive disabilities may not be not be ready for swimming lessons until a later age. Drowning is the second-leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 19, according to the AAP report.
