1. Believe in Yourself
Believing in yourself is the most important part of becoming a better swimmer. Make sure your child is enrolled in a swim school that believes everyone has the ability to learn how to swim or become a better swimmer. A good swim school will make swimming lessons comfortable and fun for your child.
2. Be Part of A Swimming Family
Swimming can be intimidating at first for children. Being part of a swim family with instructors who love what they teach, and want to help every child to learn how to swim makes a huge difference to your child advancing their swimming abilities. Swim instructors should help your kids to adapt to the water before they ever begin learning swimming strokes.
3. Set Swimming Goals
Like any other sport or activity, setting goals is a good idea for your kids to work towards. Setting goals helps to keep your child motivated during their swim classes. Celebrating every victory will encourage your kids to keep pushing themselves to excel in swimming.
4. Learn to Relax
Learning to relax sounds simple until you’re actually in the water. Teach your kids to never fight the water and to relax while they’re swimming. A good swim instructor should make learning to swim comfortable.
