Claim: enrolling your child in swimming lessons early in life will increase their mental health
Reason: Because enrolling your child in swim lessons early gives them opportunities to experience to build confidence.

Audience: young mothers ages 22-35. Lower to upper-middle class, young children ages 9 months-4 years. Involved in their Childs development, college educated, has positive expectations of Childs future life,

Goal: Get Parents to being swim lessons before age 4.

Pathos: Every parent feels for their child and so it can be a struggle to separate with their child for the first time. I address this by suggesting parent and child classes. I really emphasizes how these classes can really establish a strong mental connection between parent and child, making their bond strong and the anxiety of separation a little bit easier to deal with. By taking this approach I play on the emotional attachment that parents have with their children. I also use the notion of responsibility to make parents feel that they are obligated to do what is best for their children and early swim lessons are best for their children.

Logos: Since the parents are much focused on providing good opportunities for their children the parents are very concerned about having the reasoning for this argument to be logical. This paper focuses on addressing the major parental concerns fully because it is through the logic that parents will see some of their false ideals and instigate a willing to change them.

Relevant: This paper uses a whole bunch on information from all different sources. This is a good tactic because it helps the information remain relevant to all different situations. Parents would not have understood or agreed with the notion that early swimming lessons are mentally beneficial unless they are applicable outside the pool. Bring in different informational sources help to show that the mental benefits are wide spread throughout a child’s lifetime.

I think that this paper was very effective. This article was probably not the best written paper but by making it personal to the parents the paper gives a good break down of the major mental benefits for beginning swim lessons early not only in the pool but throughout the child’s life. I think it is mainly through Logos that I was able to address some legitimate fears of parents and address how those fallacies can hold their child back. And the best way to address these fears is to begin early which will benefitting them early.
