Continued Development Tips:
1. Create swimming-related word problems to practice addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
2. Introduce the concept of fractions by dividing the pool into equal parts and asking the child to swim a certain fraction of the pool.
3. Challenge the child to think about the relationship between swimming distance, speed, and time to strengthen their understanding of geometry and algebraic thinking.
