Baby Swimming Lesson (Infant Aquatic)

Parent's Notes:

Parent plays an important role in children swimming experience. While children are striving hard to learn how to swim, parent should know how to help their children.

1. Do not expect your child to be able to swim soon after they are introduced to the water. It depends on individual learning ability. As a parent, you should focus on the long term goal and avoid putting pressure on achievement and expecting quick results, this may become counter-productive.

2. Don't be over ambitious towards your child's progress. Allow them to gradually develop and improve at his or her own pace. There is no shortcut in learning to swim. Practise makes perfect. Every children needs regular lesson and training, never try to hurry! Your child will learn much more in short frequent regular visits than in the occasional long one. A child's attention span is extremely short. The younger the child, the shorter the attention span. Young children concentration span is about twenty minutes.

3. If you child no longer seem to enjoy the water, don't give up! Continue your regular lessons but don't waste all the earlier good work. It is a good idea to just hang around and watch as the others carry on, rather than skipping lessons.

4. Don't compare your child with others. Everyone has different learning ability.

5. If your child accidentally slip into the water and swallows water during the lesson. Don't worry, this is a learning process. You just have to lift your child up gently and put on your best smile. Praise them for trying. Children needs to be encourage. By doing this, children will enjoy and have fun.

6. If your child cries during the lesson, it doesn't mean that your child is not ready for swimming lesson. You child may be getting accustomed to the new surroundings, or just having a bad day. Give your child some time and let him develop his confident, very soon he will be able to enjoy this wonderful experience in a total relax environment with us.
