How often should my child take swim lessons? Swim lessons are 30 minutes per lesson. Children progress faster with more practice. The problems that many students and parents face are availability, affordability and scheduling. Everyone’s situation is different, but a continuing regiment of lessons throughout the year is best. Whether it is once-a-week during the school year and every day in the summer, or twice-a-week year ‘round, the results will be good with that much exposure. Swimming is a skill that takes practice. You don’t learn over-night and you can’t retain the skills year-to-year without practice. Did you improve your skills? Without practice during the year you are probably staring over. Swimming, unless practiced, will have the same results. How long will it take for my child to learn to swim? It depends. Factors such as age, social development, and physical development can all influence learning of physical
skills. It may take a child 10 or more lessons, while another child make take 6 lessons to learn the basic skills of floating,
kicking, returning to the wall, and rolling to their back to breathe, as well as float and rest. Older students that have
mastered the first skills of breathing, floating and kicking will learn more rapidly. If your child has not been in the water
for some time, they may have regressed a little and will catch back up quickly. What if my child cries during class? If your child cries, it doesn't mean he isn't ready for swim lessons.
He may be adjusting to the separation from Mom or Dad, getting accustomed to the new surroundings, or just having a bad day.
If you give your child some time and let him see that you're confident, he/she will follow your lead, relax, and enjoy
this wonderful experience. We will be as patient as we need to be. Let us handle it. Your child will eventually adjust and
we will help them by gently pushing them along the way. |
