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.
Year-round swimming should generally be attempted only by athletes seven (7) years old and older. Swimming should be fun, not a chore (they have enough chores to do outside of the pool!) The high school and summer league seasons are too short for those that love to swim. Our Gold, Juniors and Elite programs always have high school swimmers who train with AGS as well as their school during the year.
