Exploring Barriers to Swimming Ability in Children and Teens
In this study, we want to learn more about how a child’s swimming ability relates to certain things such as playing sports, as well as traits like age, gender, and ethnicity.
Why this Research Matters
Being able to swim is good for children’s health and confidence, yet some children face challenges when learning how to swim. This study will help us learn about those challenges and guide future efforts to make swimming more accessible and fair for everyone.
What to Expect
If you choose to join this study, you will fill out a few online surveys. You will be asked to provide general information about you and your child, such as age, gender, and ethnicity. There will be questions about you and your child’s ability to swim. We will also ask about any injuries they have had and the sports they have played.
