Swim Australia’s Helpful Hints for Parents:
Try to arrive relaxed and positive, especially if the experience of swimming lessons is new. Your child will feel calm and secure and lessons will be more successful.
Have a dress rehearsal at home so your child is used to swimwear and goggles. It’s highly recommended that you have them already dressed in their swim gear to avoid any drama when getting them into the pool.
Arrive early so you and your child can become acquainted with the surroundings and will not be flustered or rushed.
Toilet your child just prior to their lesson to avoid accidents and disruption during swimming lessons.
Goggles are a vital teaching aid at various stages of the learning process. They allow the child good vision and comfort underwater. It is great for children to have their own and arrive ready for class.
Please stay back from the pool edge, while swimming lessons are in progress. It’s great to encourage your child, but try to leave the teaching and discipline to the swimming teacher.
