Question 4

Q: What is the best way to prepare my child for swimming lessons?

Accepted Answer

A: Before your child's swim lessons, it is important to talk to them about what they can expect. Explain the basics of swimming (e.g., how to put their face underwater and hold their breath, etc.) in a positive manner. Additionally, practicing in the bathtub or introducing a shower to the child at home a few months prior to their first lesson is a good idea so your child can get comfortable with being submerged and experiencing water on their face.  The more you expose them to water on their face, the easier the lesson will be and the quicker they will learn.

Question 5

Q: Should my child blow bubbles or hold their breath?

Accepted Answer

A:  They should hold their breath at first.  In doing so, They will learn how to control their breathing, hold their breath underwater,  and gain confidence in the water. Also, Holding Their breath while swimming and practicing deep breathing exercises can increase your child's lung capacity.  As their skills progress, your child can start to practice blowing bubbles and learn the basics of breathing during swimming.

Question 6

Q: How long will take for my child to learn how to swim?

Accepted Answer

A:  Learning to swim takes time, so be patient and give your child plenty of support. The exact duration will depend on your child's age, skillset, and individual progress. Generally, it may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months or more for children to become comfortable in the water and start swimming independently.  Factors such as separation anxiety, exposure to water in their face, fear of the water, and your parenting style can sometimes delay a child's progress.

Question 7

Q: Why my parenting style can sometimes delay a child's progress?

Accepted Answer

A:  Parenting style can have an effect on a child's progress in learning to swim.  Often parents feel uncomfortable seeing their child upset and crying in the pool, so they may rush to comfort them, try to provide too much encouragement,  or taking them away from the uncomfortable situation, which can lead to confusion and frustration.  Sometimes is necessary for parent to step back, really trust the process, let the child experience their emotions, and work through it independently.  An experienced swim instructor can help a parent learn to adjust their parenting style in order to get the best results.   As a parent, you must be patient and provide guidance when needed, but also be aware of your own anxiety levels and the boundaries you may set for your child.
