Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are keeping busy with a variety of extracurricular activities.
Their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, have been quite open about their children’s hobbies and adventures.
Recently, Prince William shared some delightful details about their family outings during a visit to the Burtley community pool in Tyne.
He mentioned that both he and Catherine enjoy swimming, and it seems their children do too.
While Charlotte and Louis may not be swimming full laps just yet, they certainly enjoy splashing around in the pool.
Ten-year-old George, however, has taken a leap into a more adventurous realm—he’s now diving into the exciting world of scuba diving.
For any parent, taking their child for swimming lessons is a significant milestone, but for royals, it comes with its own set of challenges.
Finding a private swimming lesson can be tricky when you’re part of the royal family.
However, the Waleses have access to Buckingham Palace’s impressive facilities, which many royal family members have used over the years.
Back in 2014, it was reported that Princess Charlotte took her then one-year-old brother, George, to weekly swimming lessons in a private pool, and she was spotted there again in 2015, shortly before welcoming Charlotte.
It appears that the royal swimming legacy continues, as Princess Eugenie‘s sons seem to be following in their cousin’s footsteps.
The family splits their time between the UK and Portugal due to Brooksbank’s work, and Eugenie recently shared how much her sons love swimming.
Although the sea in Portugal can be a bit rougher, her son Augie is quite the little fish, enjoying every moment in the water.
With all this swimming talk, Buckingham Palace’s pool has been making headlines lately.
King Charles III has decided to lower the water temperature for environmental reasons, showing a commitment to sustainability.
However, anyone wishing to take a dip must adhere to a dress code, which means modest swimwear is expected—no revealing bikinis or speedos allowed!
Swimming has long been a cherished activity within the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II was an excellent swimmer, starting at the tender age of ten.
Her passion for the sport led her to become a patron of the Amateur Swimming Association, viewing swimming as beneficial for both health and competition.
This love for the water was passed down to King Charles III, who enjoyed many seaside frolics during his youth.
The swimming gene doesn’t stop there.
Zara Tindall, the Queen’s granddaughter, is also a keen swimmer.
Prince William has taken on the mantle of a swimming enthusiast as well, having captained his university’s water polo team.
He proudly states that he and Catherine ensure their children are proficient swimmers, dubbing them a “family of swimmers.”
It’s heartwarming to know that the Buckingham Palace pool is frequently used by the family.
Princess Catherine has expressed a preference for outdoor cold-water swimming, while Queen Camilla enjoys the ocean for her aquatic adventures.
Since their early dating days, William and Catherine have relished sun-soaked vacations on the Caribbean island of Mystique, where George celebrated his sixth birthday.
Mystique is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, offering diving, snorkeling, and sailing opportunities.
In recent years, the family has also traveled to Jordan, a place dear to Catherine, who lived there during her childhood.
They often enjoy staycations, frequently visiting the picturesque Isle of Scilly off the Cornish coast, where the family has been spotted cycling around the beautiful Tresco Island.
As the young royals continue to dive into new experiences, their love for swimming and adventure is clearly evident.
Whether it’s a day at the pool or a family trip to the beach, the Wales family is making waves in more ways than one.
