Fitness and pacing is about swimming further and feeling good while you do it. It turns someone who can swim into someone who can keep swimming, calmly and safely.
Your child learns to keep swimming, calmly and steadily, all the way to the end instead of stopping to grab the side. It is the step that turns a few good strokes into real, useful swimming.
