At what age, Swimming should be taught to a child?

Formal swimming lessons shuld not be taught until the kid is atleast of 4 years of age. At 4 years , they are developmentally ready for swim lessons. They need to be able to listen, follow directions, and retain what they've learned, and that's usually around 4 years old, with some kids being ready a little earlier.

However All children under the age of 8 years must be accompanied.

Experts say that getting a scared child to take swim lessons means going slow and not forcing him to learn too early.
