FAQ: What You Need to Know Before Starting Swimming Lessons

When it comes to teaching people how to swim, we recommend enrolling for swimming lessons during the holidays. By allocating enough time and following our schedule consistently, it is possible to learn how to swim in a short time. If you have never taken lessons before, you will need some time to feel comfortable in the water. As early as the age of two, a child can take follow our instructions and embark on preliminary swimming lessons.

Strokes

Once a child is acclimatized to the water, it is possible to learn the basic strokes. We have children at various levels of competence and match our students with others who are close in age and have the same level of ability. Most of our graduates have excelled in swimming competitions as well. We ensure that a student accomplishes a particular stroke before embarking on the next skill. We also perform some assessments to ensure that a child has the right coordination to handle more advanced things like water sports.

Survival swimming lessons

We teach children how to float in water. Floating is a necessary, basic skill that anyone can learn, depending on how well you master the technique. If you accidentally fall into a pool, you should swim upwards and maintain your floating position to avoid drowning. As such, we do not proceed with lessons until you totally acquire this survival skill. For many people, flotation is one of the hardest things to pick up. How well you grasp the flotation technique will determine whether you will sink or swim throughout the course of our lessons.

We offer comprehensive lessons to prevent accidents

We understand the risks that water poses. As such, we start with shallow pools to minimize the risk of drowning. We also have some warm tubs that offer protection from illnesses such as colds and the flu. Having a false sense of security and confidence is risky. We emphasize that the children cannot participate in any water sports after taking a few lessons. In addition, we emphasize the importance of not teaching students how to tread water until they have a complete understanding of one coordinated stroke at a minimum.

Consistency

If you are planning to enroll in swimming lessons,the instructors will keep you safe and ensure that you improve on a weekly basis. Such consistency is the key to excel in our institution; practice makes perfect! We have a vast range of pools, tubs, and safety equipment that allow us to provide these services in a safe and efficient manner.

Overcoming fear

If you enroll in adult swimming lessons we will help you overcome any fear and gain valuable skills. The key to success during the lessons lies in your ability to overcome fear and trust in us. Even if your strokes are way below par, confidence and courage will play a huge role. Over time, you will build endurance and the capability to swim for a long duration.
