There is no set age at which someone can learn to swim, as it really depends on the individual child or adult and their physical and emotional readiness. Some children may be ready to start learning to swim as early as 6 months, while others may not be ready until they are a bit older.

In general, most swimming lessons start around age 3 or 4, when children have better motor skills and are more comfortable being in the water. At this age, children can start learning basic swimming skills, such as floating, kicking, and paddling, with the help of a swimming instructor or parent.

However, it’s never too late to learn to swim. Adults of all ages can learn to swim and benefit from the exercise and health benefits that come with swimming. It’s important to find a qualified swimming instructor who can provide lessons that are tailored to the individual’s needs and abilities.
