Our Top Children’s Books About Swimming

Jan Newsletter Headings (11)

Reading is an important skill and hobby because it helps to further the development of the mind. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Not every day can be spent by the pool so we suggested some light reading to feel like it’s still summer when you’re at home. Building your child’s love on the water is something you can also happen at home with the help of some fun reads!
