The end of these lessons is not the end of your child’s learning for the year. On the contrary, this is just the beginning. As their parent, it is your responsibility to follow through with regular and consistent practice as prescribed in the information given to you at the end of the session.
Confidence is the foundation to your child’s success in these lessons. Your child will finish lessons willing to come to the pool and swim. Mike has worked diligently to instill this confidence in your swimmer, but it can only be maintained by actively following up according to our recommendations. If you do not practice regularly as prescribed, your child’s confidence may drop, and they may regress and be unwilling to swim which would be a waste of your child’s hard work and your money. Plan for success by making swimming part of your new routine as a family.
Plan to take your child swimming each and every day for the first 10 days after the last lesson. After the first 10 days, plan to practice 2-3 times per week.
Be patient with your child. Making progress in swimming skills takes time and many repetitions. Do not try to change or improve your child’s skills all at once. Consistent practice is the best path toward improvement.
Give your child plenty of encouragement and positive affirmation… it can go a long way. Have fun!
