Are child swimmers smarter?

Based on preliminary data, researchers from Griffith University in Australia are in the midst of a study to find out if swimming helps children to become smarter. They say children who learn to swim appear to be smarter than children who don't.
Jorgensen is the director of the Griffith Institute for Educational Research, School of Education and Professional Studies, at Griffith University, in Queensland, Australia.
According to November 2, 2010 Sydney Morning Herald article 'Does swimming make you smarter?' the study is looking at over ten thousand children in Australia from five years of age and older.
They will decide if children who swim at an early age are better off physically, socially, intellectually, and have better language development than children who don't learn to swim.
The SMH article states, 'Professor Robyn Jorgensen said anecdotal evidence found swimmers tended to be more confident than same-age, non-swimming peers.'
And, 'She said the study was in its second year and is measuring the development of youngsters learning to swim against international milestones of child development.' The study will take four years before being completed.
