Tips For Swim Parents

Follow the tips below, which will significantly impact your child’s progress. 

Attend Class 

Regular Attendance is the foundation of progress. When your child attends their scheduled class consistently, the coach and swimmer are more in tune with learning, showing quicker results.  

Practice Outside of Lessons 

Practice constantly. Like learning to read, children develop quicker when they follow up instruction time with practice outside of class. 

Set Goals 

Dream big! Do everything you can to present your swimmer with opportunities to succeed. Help them set swim goals that are unique to them. Encourage them not to worry about the progress of a friend or sibling. This is why we cater all of our lessons to the individual child. 

Don’t Give Up 

Sometimes it may seem like your child has taken a few steps back. This is a natural part of the learning process. You must remain positive and consistent, and don’t allow them to give up. Reinforce the goals that were established at the beginning of the process. 

Swim Throughout The Year

Keeping your child swimming year round is the best way to sustain their confidence in the water and reduce the risk of drowning. Year-round swimmers retain a healthy respect for water safety and build skills beyond those of seasonal swimmers. 

Remember, as a swim parent, you serve a vital role in your swimmer’s success. Your attitude toward swimming lessons, your child’s Attendance, and your swim instructor are all factors in their success. Learning to swim is a challenging yet rewarding investment. When it comes right down to it, learning to swim is a life skill that can actually save a life.
