Swimming is one of the best activities for kids and adults. It is an affordable sport and often we refer to is as to a “family sport”. It allows all human beings to move through the water, stay afloat, or move in the water in the desired direction. Swimming has multiple functions like recreation, leisure, and it can be a professional sport. Swimming is good for self-confidence and perseverance. It develops a healthy and positive human spirit. Among other things, swimming is important for proper growth and development of children and helps the development of motor skills and cognitive abilities. Moreover, newborns are born with a natural swimming reflex that gradually disappears around the seventh month of life. For children to benefit from swimming activities from the earliest age, nowadays, we (adults) try to teach children to swim at an early age using a variety of techniques described in this paper. Furthermore, swimming is a sport that is recommended for children with disabilities and has a number of physical benefits such as increasing the strength and endurance of the muscular system, improving circulation, increasing joint mobility, increasing vital capacity of the lungs and increasing chest mobility and is considered one of the most complete forms of exercise. Once you learn to swim it is almost impossible to forget and so it becomes a permanent skill. The importance of swimming is shown by the fact that around 360,000 people drown in the world every year, and a particularly vulnerable group are the youngest.
