Most Malaysian’s Can’t Swim: Cultivate Love for Swimming at a Young Age
Swimming is a rare sport that we partake in and it’s an even rarer skill to be able to do properly for most Malaysians. The reasons for that vary; from the lack of access to a swimming facility to its unpopularity as a sport. Whatever the reason may be, if you are from Kelantan, this is your golden opportunity to get your children into swimming!
Why you should encourage your children to learn how to swim
Enhance Motor Skills: The techniques learned in swim classes can help your children develop their motor skills on top of building their muscles to tread through the water. This is highly important, especially for younger children, to train their muscles to make complex movements that will help them grow healthy and agile.
A Life-Saving Skill to Have: In Malaysia, we are blessed with beautiful bodies of water from rivers, waterfalls, beaches and lakes. These are popular holiday destinations for Malaysians looking to have a nice day out in nature with their families. Furthermore, some of us also have access to public or private swimming pools nearby. Hence, learning how to swim can be a life-saving skill to have when in the water and your children can have more fun beyond splashing around in the shallow end.
A Third Space: A third space is a space for people to engage with their community outside of their home (first space) and school/work (second space). The lack of safe and accessible third spaces in the modern world has pushed our youth into finding entertainment through their phones. Therefore, joining something like a swimming class can help our children connect with themselves and their friends better as they form their self-identity.
