Parents overconfident in their child’s swimming ability

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “generally, children are not developmentally ready for swimming
lessons until after their fourth birthday. Aquatic programs for infants and toddlers have not been shown to decrease
the risk of drowning, and parents should not feel secure that their child is safe in water
or safe from drowning after participating in such programs.” Parent assisted classes
will help a child adapt and feel comfortable in the water, helping to prepare the
childfor future lessons.
That doesn’t mean, however, that children should not get swimming instruction.
“Some have the misconception that the AAP is saying that no child should have .
swimming lessons until they are 4. There are developmental differences with every
child.” said Dr. Eric Small, chairman of the AAP Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness.
What he does stress is that parents should be within arm’s reach of a child, regardless .
of whether that child has had swimming lessons, until a child is 6 to 8 years old, depending
on the child’s swimming ability. “Physically, children are not ready for all the coordination
of the motions and the balance in the water at younger ages than 4. Some are not ready until they
are 5 or 6,” Dr. Small said.
The AAP report on swimming safety states that “children who begin swimming lessons at an earlier age does not
translate to a more rapid mastery of aquatic skills or a higher level of swimming proficiency compared with those
taking lessons at a later age.”
Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury and death in the pediatric age group. In the United States,
drowning rates are the highest among children ages 1 through 2, according to the AAP.

The Recreation Department offers four ways to register for activites:
RecWeb internet registration, walk-in registration, mail, and fax.
See page 174 for more information about each of these
registration procedures.
A note about fax and mailed registrations: Our Customer Service
representatives process faxed and mailed registrations as quickly
as possible; but we cannot guarantee that these registrations will
be processed immediately upon receipt. If there are walk-in
customers at the Customer Service window when faxed or mailed
registrations are received, the walk-in customers are served before
the faxed or mailed registrations are processed. If faxed or mailed
registration forms are received prior to the first official day of
registration, these forms will be secured in a safe until registration
begins. At that time, the faxed or mailed registrations will be
processed, but may not necessarily be processed in the strict
order that they were received, and all will be treated as if they
arrived on the first day of registration.

Family Golf Outing

We have also created the perfect Family Golf Outing, in which your family can play on the course, get actual on course experience
and have fun as a family for just $10 per person!
Our courses are set up with a “course within a course” that establishes a beginner friendly short course within our main course,
which makes golf more enjoyable for players new to the game; provides a simple transition as abilities increase; enables players of
varying abilities to shoot similar scores; and encourages parents and kids to play golf together. Our $10 per person rate is valid at
Needwood Executive Nine, Northwest Inner Nine and Sligo Creek anytime Monday – Friday and after 12pm on Saturday, Sunday
and Holidays. In addition all MCRA 18 hole courses will honor the rate after 5pm 7 days a week. Call any MCRA golf course for
additional information or to book a tee time.
