Swimming book questions
What age is the Champion MVP Swimming book for?
The Swimming storybook is written for ages 3 to 8. Children ages 3 to 5 follow along through the illustrations while an adult reads aloud, ages 5 to 7 read it together with an adult, and ages 6 to 8 work through the puzzle book on their own.
When should I read the swimming book with my child?
The week before sign-ups or the night before the first practice. The story walks through what a first swimming practice feels like, including the nervous parts, so your child knows what to expect before they arrive.
Is there a free way to try Champion MVP swimming?
Yes. Champion MVP publishes free animated episodes on YouTube and free printable activity pages for classroom and home use. No account or sign-up is required for any free resource.
Does the swimming book teach a child to swim?
No. The book prepares a child for lessons by explaining what happens in the pool. Swimming must be taught by a qualified instructor, and children should always be supervised by an adult in and around water.
