We are delighted to share some valuable swimming tips with you to ensure that your child’s experience with us is both enjoyable and rewarding. By following these tips, you can help your child feel more confident in the water and make the most of their swimming lessons.
So, let’s dive right in!
DO YOUR RESEARCH
Find out what your child can expect on their first session with this swim school.
Who is the teacher? What will they be asked to do? Will they be allowed their armbands? What will happen before and after class?
Kids will be happier to come to class if they understand what will be happening.
SPEND TIME IN THE POOL
The more time you spend with your child in the pool, the better the position you will be in to understand what skills need work, what fears may need conquering, and what your child really loves about the water.
All this info can be passed to the swim teacher, who will work it into lessons plans.
TAKE LESSONS YOURSELF
If you’re not already a swimmer, there’s no better time to learn than while your child does!
Spending bonding time together in the pool, comparing what you both learned that week, is a really special experience.
Plus, your child will feel more confident, and be inspired to do even better in lessons.
GET THE RIGHT KIT
Proper swimwear designed for the purpose, a good pair of goggles (we love the split strap ones!), and a fluffy towel for post-swim shower – all essentials for a comfortable swim lesson.
Don’t forget that shower, either – it warms the kids back up once they exit the water, and washes away pool chemicals too.
COME TO THE CLASS
Your presence by the pool, and your attention when there, will boost your child’s confidence and their performance.
So much of your child’s learning takes place in school – swim lessons are a fantastic opportunity to see you child progress and gain confidence right before your eyes.
We hope you found these swimming tips from BritSwim helpful and informative.
Remember, the key to a successful swimming journey for your child lies in preparation, practice, and your active involvement. By doing your research, spending time in the pool, taking lessons yourself, getting the right swimming gear, and being present during your child’s classes, you can greatly enhance their progress and enjoyment.
At BritSwim, we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for your child, and we are excited to witness their growth and confidence in the water.
So, why wait? Book your child’s swimming class with us today and embark on an exciting aquatic adventure together. We can’t wait to see you and your little swimmer by the pool!
