How to have Successful Swimming Lessons

• Visit the pool before swimming lessons start. Give your child a tour of the facility so he/she is familiar with the pool.
• Have fun and swim with your child during recreational swim prior to the beginning of lessons and practice skills they already know.
• Set realistic expectations with your child and allow your child to feel that there are no expectations to receive a badge.
• Swimmers often need more than one set of lesson in order to gain the sill that will allow them to complete level.
• Make sure you bring any concerns to the instructor in a timely manner
• If your child has a medical concern or learning challenge, please speak to the instructor at the first lesson.
