Accomplishments

We our proud of our Physique Swimming students for their many accomplishments, and believe in honoring these accomplishments accordingly. Upon completion of a swim level, each student receives a certificate of achievement; they then have it as a constant reminder of what they have achieved, and what they are capable of achieving in the future. Learning to swim takes time, practice, and patience, but the rewards are tremendous. We encourage our students, always, to keep trying, and to never give up; it is the surest way to achieving one’s goal.

About Teaching

Let’s Do It Together!

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.

Achieving Success

How To Obtain the Maximum From Each Lesson

  • Do not allow your child to get into the pool prior to the order of the instructor. Maintain your child in a learning mode not a playing mode.
  • Remember to praise your child for their accomplishments after each class *children can never get enough encouragement!
  • If there is more than one child in the class please do not compare their progress. Children learn at different paces but they ALL learn!
  • Physique Swim School wants each child to learn how to swim, but the most important thing is to have fun while learning!
