BENGALURU: With the fall in Covid-19 numbers and the easing of most restrictions, summer camps are back after two years and parents are enrolling their children in various activities. Swimming has returned as a popular choice, with parents saying it helps their wards stay healthy and is an important life skill.
Umesh Marnad, a businessman, has enrolled both his children — aged six and nine – in swimming classes at a pool in Koramangala. “I want them to compensate for the lack of physical activity in the last two years. I think swimming is a great full-body exercise and is good for height growth,” he said.
