The great benefits of swimming have led us to include this sport in Casvi International American School as another activity within the school day. Our students are introduced to this sport when they are only 3 years old.
Let’s see what benefits swimming has in particular. Why is it so important to practice it in schools? At Casvi, sport is a fundamental pillar.
The World Health Organization advises a minimum daily practice of 60 minutes of physical activity for children and adolescents. The purpose of this is to strengthen and exercise their bones and muscles. One of the most complete and beneficial sports is swimming, both for adults and children.
The aquatic environment is the most complete physical space that exists for the development of physical, psychological and neurological aptitudes. Swimming can be practiced from the very first months of life.
