About Teaching
Parents, please try to talk about swimming as much as you can in your family.
Let your child know you are proud of every task he or she attempts. Give
them encouragement, and be understanding. Be patient and we'll keep trying.
Swimming is the hardest thing to learn. Give help, love, and praise.
Discuss with your child that repetition is important, when you learn
something. Encourage your child to do as many repetitions as he/she can
during the lesson.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
Don't overset your Goals for your child. It is better to reset them from
time to time in order to be more realistic for both you and your child.
Never show disappointment or scold for something not done to your
expectations.
CRYING. There are different degrees and a certain amount is certainly
expected and will be there from time to time. Don't get upset. A little is
OK.
Don't compare children! Let them progress at a pace that is right for them.
They all have different temperaments and personalities.
A young swimmer's goal should be to tread water for two to three minutes and
able to swim 300 yards.

Keep in Check of the Pool Rules... |
Please have your child on the deck and on the place of instructions five
minutes before class is ready to start. This gives us a chance to start on
time.
Children should try to
avoid eating an hour
before class.
-
No running on swimming pool deck. -
No chewing gum while swimming. -
Take shower and use a bathroom before entering the pool.
Take control of Young Swimmer Daily Exercise Routine. It will help your
child learn easier in the water.
