One of the most important side-effects of that situation is the disturbance of sleep that can lead to a spiral of negative consequences.

Why swim techniques aren't the only lessons one can take from coaches

Why swim techniques aren't the only lessons one can take from coaches

Swimming is not a simple sport. More than that, it's a way of life.

Two years I have tried to teach my kids to swim from one school to another. I regret the money I have wasted . It took three lessons 90 minutes each for my kids to swim independently . Thank you for the team of Nereids.
