Swimming (and juggling) make you smarter

I’ve seen a number of reports indicating that juggling can grow your brain and perhaps make you smarter, but here’s a study that shows how swimming speeds up the brain development of children. The interesting news is that the skills kids learn in the pool are useful for developing skills in the classroom.

And if swimming can speed development and juggling can grow your brain, just think how useful swuggling could be! Joe Salter is on his way to becoming a genius!!

Joggle on.

Regarding that article, I think that parenting style is the big factor, rather than the swimming itself. Maybe parents who teach their kids to swim earlier also do other good-parent things as the kids grow up.
