How to get the most from your lesson
- Ensure that your child has something to eat before they come swining so they are not distracted by hunger. Try and make it a nutritious snack. This is especially important for afternoon swimmers.
- Do not compare your child to others in the class, enjoy them for who they are and what they are achieving. Communicate with the teacher if you have concerns or questions.
- As a parent keep your expectations realistic. They should be age and skill appropriate.
- Be prepared and on time for your lessons, so your child does not feel rushed or pressured.
- Consistency is important- try to attend each scheduled lesson.
- Make us aware of any changes that may be occuring outside of lessons that may affect your child’s learning.
- Let us know if anything happens i.e. bad experience, sickness. No matter how minor, we can then adjust our expectations if necessary.
