Teamwork - Instructors & Parents

For every student to succeed, it takes more than just the effort from the Swim instructor. A parent plays a significant role in the child’s swimming lesson success. Listed below are several pointers to help your child with swim lessons:

  • Prepare your child for swimming lessons by explaining exactly what will happen. Try to bring your child to the pool in advance so that they are more familiar with the area.
  • Be prompt so that your child is not rushed. Children can get anxious if rushed.
  • Attend every lesson so your child does not regress or fall behind the other students.
  • Be patient. Pressuring your child could cause a regression or even a fear of the water.
  • Avoid comparisons. No two children develop at the same rate. Each child learns at a different pace depending on factors such as physical growth, individual development, comfort, practice, and previous experience. Respect your child’s qualities and do not compare them to their siblings or other children.
  • Always be encouraging and positive of your child’s efforts as it will make them try harder during their next lesson or free swim.
  • Try to practice and reinforce what your child has learned in swim lessons; they will have a better chance of moving on to the next level
