Teach children to swim: The ideal age is around five years. Initially, it is not about gaining a badge and swimming perfectly, but about adjusting to the water and becoming familiar with it. Body control and motor skills for learning to swim only reach maturity when the child can ride a bicycle without training wheels. Playing around in the water means positive experiences during development. When introduced cautiously and with games, the child builds self-confidence as many of the exercises are easier in water than on land.
