Most swimmers begin formal training between the ages of 6 and 9.
Many aspiring competitive swimmers begin their swimming journey at a relatively young age. While recreational swimming can start even earlier, formal training, which involves structured lessons and coaching, typically commences between the ages of 6 and 9. This timeframe allows children to develop fundamental skills, build endurance, and foster a love for the sport without overexertion at a very young age. Starting at this age provides a solid foundation for potential future success in competitive swimming.
