1.
Be
ready five minutes before class. We
understand that keeping up with your kid’s daily schedule is hectic and
sometime you can’t help but run a few minutes late to class. Plan ahead when it comes to swimming and
arrive a little early, come in relaxed. This
will give off an impression to your child that swimming is not anything to be
afraid of. Have your child changed and
near the pool, so when the lesson begins he or she can go in and feel prepared
and confident to take their lesson.
2.
Keep
distractions to a minimum. There
are benches around the pool and a large waiting area outside of the pool that
provide parents with plenty of viewing area during the swim lessons. Try not to talk to your child or interrupt while
the lesson is going on. If you need to
talk to the instructor, wait until after class, but keep in mind he or she
might have another class starting when your child is done so keep it brief.
3.
Get
your child the proper gear needed for lessons.
All students should invest in their own pair of swim goggles. We sell Finis goggles in our Swim Shop, which
we recommend due to their high quality design.
Swimmers with long hair must wear a swim cap or have their hair tied
back tightly. Rash guards are ok, but
not typically recommended because they can limit upper body movement. As your child reaches more advanced levels,
they should begin wearing racing swim suits.
