Swim England app to help children "fall in love with swimming"
BY Tom Walker
A new, free platform has been launched to help youngsters "fall in love with swimming" – and give parents a better understanding of the purpose of their child’s lessons.
By scanning their Learn to Swim certificates on the My Learn to Swim app, children will be transported into a magical experience where they can play with characters such as Maisie the marlin and Harry the hermit crab.
Parents will be able to utilise the app too, as it gives tips on how to make exercise a fun experience for children.
The app has been developed and launched by Swim England, which hopes the app will help more children take up swimming regularly.
“It is really important for children to learn to swim, so they can have fun safely in the water," said Jane Nickerson, Swim England CEO.
“Children are leaving swimming lessons too early, before they reach a stage where they are able to swim confidently and competently.
“Therefore, as a result of Swim England’s research, we are delighted to launch the My Learn to Swim app to help celebrate children learning to swim and ensure even more children fall in love with swimming.”
The My Learn to Swim is available on the App Store and Google Play for free.
