With our beginner swim classes in Baltimore, we always start with the same core\u00a0skill: learning to float. Our instructors teach kids how to fall into the pool safely, roll over, and perform the back float. We do this before any kids start to learn to swim.<\/p>\n
The back float is a safety tool that kids can continue to rely upon again and again. It allows them to breathe, relax, and call confidently for assistance if they need it. If they find themselves within unfamiliar water, or requiring help for any reason, it helps them to stay afloat and calm. We always prioritize safety awareness with our Baltimore classes, and teaching flotation helps kids stay alert and aware when near water.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also a valuable tool for children who are nervous about the water. The back float is an opportunity to\u00a0acclimate them to the pool, getting them more confident about exploring it on their own terms. When they do begin to learn to swim, they can use the back float anytime they\u2019re tired or want assistance from the instructor, too.<\/p>\n
At British Swim School Patapsco Valley, we work with beginning swimmers of all ages who want to learn to swim.\u00a0Our classes in Baltimore are structured to give every child plenty of opportunity to navigate the water and start learning the basics for swimming.<\/p>\n
For your youngest children, instructors rely on songs and repetition to help them pick up the moves they need to remember. Kids learn quickly when repeating activities and observing others. With classes scheduled once or twice a week, we can get them ready to have a blast in the pool!<\/p>\n
