Interested in learning more about our swimming classes in Westminster? While we are happy to answer questions over the phone and welcome parents to drop in on a class to observe, here are a few questions parents commonly ask about our unique program:

1. What is the earliest age I can enroll my child in swimming classes?
   Infants as young as three months old are invited to join our parent-assisted Tadpole class. This class is a gentle introduction to the water and focuses on water acclimation, submersion, and assisted back floating. And of course, there’s plenty of fun, singing, and laughter in our Tadpole class, so be prepared for lots of smiles!   
2. How can children so young learn how to swim?
   The most effective approach to teaching and learning is repetition, especially for our youngest students. Repeating motions with games and activities within our structured classes teaches muscle memory and keeps kids engaged and having a great time. Group settings are also helpful when teaching young children, as kids typically repeat what they see other kids doing – in this case, learning water safety, swimming, and having a blast!
3. What if my child doesn’t like the water or what if they cry?
   Some children are hesitant around the water because of a fear of the unknown. Others may have had a negative first experience, or a parent or sibling who has a fear of the water. At British Swim School Flatirons, our instructors are patient, gentle, and possess a wide range of techniques that can ease your child’s fears and help boost their confidence. In many cases, just being in a group setting with other children makes a big difference, as does being able to observe first without being pressured.
