1. Sleep
You know those nights where your kid doesn’t want you to leave the room – or your toddler comes out of bed eleventh-billion times for a hug, a glass of water, to throw out some garbage, and to just talk about life? Here's the thing: They need to exercise during the day to use up all their physical energy so they can sleep well at night. It may seem like kids have endless amounts of energy, and you'd think they'd run through it during their day. But, they need to exercise ALL of their muscles in a productive way – which swimming is perfect for! 2. Energy Speaking of energy, swimming also gives kids energy! It may sound like a paradox that it can both invite better sleep AND increase energy, but it's true. The more kids exercise, the more their body works to pump oxygen and blood throughout their body – and the more they use their muscles, the more their muscles want to be used.

Thank you for explaining that swimming can be a great way for kids to spend their energy so they sleep well at night. I've been wondering what kind of things I can do to help my kids with their sleep. I never considered this, but I'll have to try it out and see how it works.
