Have you noticed that your child works on a lot of the same skills during every lesson? Bubble, back float, face floats…Learning to swim is based on repetition. We need repetition to strengthen skills and build a strong foundation.
To prevent our students from becoming bored with repetition, our instructors use different themes each week to vary activities while practicing the same skills. For example, we practice the safety skill, “jump, turn, grab the wall”. It can be done off the island, off the big green mat or off the slide. And while it is a safety skill to us, the children are imagining they are jumping off the circus train to catch a lion or walking the plank during pirate week!
Through creative repetition and stimulation, your child will be come a better swimmer!
