How To Improve Your Child's Swimming Skills

Get Maximum Value From Swimming Lessons

Having your child taught to swim is essential these days – but it can be a long haul from baby lessons all the way to a competent swimmer. Many parents get frustrated along the way when their child seems to stall and there is no noticeable improvement as the weeks and months progress. Lessons cost money and you want to see a return from your investment, right?

Can you answer yes to any of the following questions?

• Does your child seem to be taking a long time to progress through their swimming lessons?
• Does it seem like other children move through at a much faster pace?
• Is your child still scared to put their face in the water after numerous lessons?
• Or do you just want to speed the whole process up?

How To Improve Your Child’s Swimming Skills can help!

This is not a “how to” manual about teaching your child to swim yourself, nor does it offer advanced technique advice. Rather it gives information on how you, as a parent or guardian, can help your child improve their swimming skills as they continue to attend their regular lessons. Aimed at the average parent with limited swimming experience it explains things in a simple, easy to understand manner and also contains helpful illustrations.

As an experienced swimming teacher I know that it is not difficult to assist your child through this process. All it requires is some background knowledge about what your child is learning and a willingness to practice several core skills regularly. These skills include:

• Learning how to confidently submerge
• Breath control and efficient breathing
• Correct body position and effective kicking
• Overcoming a fear of deep water

How To Improve Your Child’s Swimming Skills also covers many other relevant topics such as:

• How many lessons per week are necessary?
• The pros and cons of private lessons
• Are baby classes worth the effort?

Your child may not have aspirations about becoming an Olympic champion, but helping them become a confident and capable swimmer is a gift that will last a lifetime. Invest some time and effort now and the results will speak for themself.
