A member asked:
Is it ok for my 7yrs old boy to play tennis and swimming ? i heard that there are certain sports don't match together is this true.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sports for children: I would disagree that certain sports "don't match together". Tennis and swimming are both excellent for helping children develop motor skills, cardiovascular health, self esteem as well as safety with respect to swimming. Sports should be fun and not overly focused on competition, or pressure, but rather to complement and enhance quality of life.
