Our learners happily embraced the new swings on the playground. They were a surprise coming back from the winter holidays. Swings are not just fun and an important part of almost every playground, they have a lot of benefits:
• Develops the sensory system
• Strengthens inner ear balance
• Calms nerves and anxiety
• Develops motor skills
• Stimulates brain development
• Triggers social development
• Improves balance and core strength
• Burns energy (and calories)
• Provides stress relief
• Helps make social connections
• Increases heart rate and aerobic capacity
And ours swings teach patience as well, because if you want to swing, you have to get in line …
